ISBN: 1852336692 ISBN-13: 9781852336691 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $189.99 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2002 Annotation: The emergence of flow control as an attractive new field is owed to breakthroughs in MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) and related technologies. The instrumentation of fluid flows on extremely short length and short time scales requires the practical tool of control algorithms with provable performance guarantees. Dedicated to this problem, Flow Control by Feedback brings together controller design and fluid mechanics expertise in an exposition of the latest research results. Featuring: ? exhaustive treatment of core areas like stabilization and mixing control techniques; ? self-contained introductory sections on Navier-Stokes equations, linear and nonlinear control and sensors and MEMS to facilitate accessibility to this cross-disciplinary subject; ? a comprehensive survey of feedback algorithms for flow control that are currently available. In response to the intense interest in flow control, Flow Control by Feedback will be an essential addition to the library of researchers and graduate students in control theory, fluid mechanics, mathematics and physics. Content structure is ideal for instruction on flow control modules or as supplementary reading on fluid dynamics and infinite dimensional systems courses. |

| Publisher Description: In the 70+ year history of control theory and engineering, few applications have stirred as much excitement as flow control. The same can probably be said for the general area of fluid mechanics with its much longer history of several centuries. This excitement is understandable and justified. Turbulence in fluid flows has been recognized as the last great unsolved problem of classical 1 physics and has driven the careers of many leading mathematicians of the 20th century.2 Likewise, control theorists have hardly ever come across a problem this challenging. The emergence of flow control as an attractive new field is owed to the break- throughs in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and other technologies for instrumenting fluid flows on extremely short length and time scales. The remaining missing ingredient for turning flow control into a practical tool is control algorithms with provable performance guarantees. This research mono- graph is the first book dedicated to this problem-systematic feedback design for fluid flows. |
