Control of Flows: Models, Dynamic Analysis, Control Algorithms, and Computation Workshop to be held on May 31-June 1, 1999, University of California, San Diego, CA

在它存在的最初4-50年里，控制工程领域主要研究机械系统，无论是刚性的还是柔性的，都是多固体系统(其中由于流体引起的现象可以被认为是集中参数效应)。流体流动系统新的驱动和传感概念和技术的出现为控制工程创造了机会，使其能够对一些与流动相关的应用产生重大影响，包括延迟过渡和分离、湍流减阻、增强混合、射流控制、降噪、化学反应、燃烧不稳定性、等离子体和聚变物理等。这个研讨会的目的是提供一个主要的推动力，引导流量控制领域的理论和计算人才转向相关的问题，并在更快的轨道上过渡到产品。研讨会的目的不是广泛的概述，而是集中在控制理论、计算和面向控制的建模方面的基础研究问题。流体流动控制的问题可能会在未来几十年内推动控制理论和相关领域的前沿发展。这次研讨会将与1999年在圣地亚哥举行的美国控制会议相结合。研讨会很可能会吸引相当数量的与会者。研讨会的成果将是所有演讲摘要的会议记录。***

9975522KrsticOver the first 4-5 decades of its existence, the field of control engineering dealt primarily with mechanical systems which, whether rigid or flexible in character, were multi-solid--body systems (where phenomena due to fluids can be regarded as lumped-parameter effects). The emergence of new actuation and sensing concepts and technologies for fluid flow systems is creating an opportunity for control engineering to make a major impact on a number of flow-related applications, including delay of transition and separation, turbulent drag reduction, mixing enhancement, jet control, noise reduction, chemical reactions, combustion instabilities, plasma and fusion physics, etc. The rate of progress and investment into actuator/sensor technology and the development of experimental capabilities has created an unprecedented situation that the theory is lagging behind technology. The objective of this workshop is to provide a major thrust towards channeling the theoretical and computational talent in the field of flow control towards problems that are relevant and on a faster track to transition into products. The workshop is not intended to be a broad overview but instead focus on basic research issues in control theory, computation, and control-oriented modeling. The problems of control of fluid flows are likely to drive the cutting-edge development in control theory and related fields for decades to come.The workshop will be organized in conjuction with the 1999 American Control Conference in San Diego. It is likely that the workshop will attract a significant number of conference attendees. A deliverable of the workshop will be proceedings with abstracts of all the talks. ***
