This paper concerns feedback stabilization of point vortex equilibria above an inclined thin plate and a three-plate configuration known as the Kasper Wing in the presence of an oncoming uniform flow. The flow is assumed to be potential and is modeled by the 2D incompressible Euler equations. Actuation has the form of blowing and suction localized on the main plate and is represented in terms of a sink-source singularity, whereas measurement of pressure across the plate serves as system output. We focus on point-vortex equilibria forming a one-parameter family with locus approaching the trailing edge of the main plate and show that these equilibria are either unstable or neutrally stable. Using methods of linear control theory we find that the system dynamics linearised around these equilibria are both controllable and observable for almost all actuator and sensor locations. The design of the feedback control is based on the Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) compensator. Computational results demonstrate the effectiveness of this control and the key finding is that Kasper Wing configurations are in general more controllable than their single plate counterparts and also exhibit larger basins of attraction under LQG feedback control. The feedback control is then applied to systems with additional perturbations added to the flow in the form of random fluctuations of the angle of attack and a vorticity shedding mechanism. Another important observation is that, in the presence of these additional perturbations, the control remains robust, provided the system does not deviate too far from its original state. Furthermore, introducing a vorticity shedding mechanism tends to enhance the effectiveness of the control. Physical interpretation is provided for the results of the controllability and observability analysis as well as the response of the feedback control to different perturbations.

We consider relative equilibrium solutions of the two-dimensional Euler equations in which the vorticity is concentrated on a union of finite-length vortex sheets. Using methods of complex analysis, more specifically the theory of the Riemann-Hilbert problem, a general approach is proposed to find such equilibria which consists of two steps: first, one finds a geometric configuration of vortex sheets ensuring that the corresponding circulation density is real-valued and also vanishes at all sheet endpoints such that the induced velocity field is well-defined; then, the circulation density is determined by evaluating a certain integral formula. As an illustration of this approach, we construct a family of rotating equilibria involving different numbers of straight vortex sheets rotating about a common center of rotation and with endpoints at the vertices of a regular polygon. This equilibrium generalizes the well-known solution involving single rotating vortex sheet. With the geometry of the configuration specified analytically, the corresponding circulation densities are obtained in terms of a integral expression which in some cases lends itself to an explicit evaluation. It is argued that as the number of sheets in the equilibrium configuration increases to infinity, the equilibrium converges in a certain distributional sense to a hollow vortex bounded by a constant-intensity vortex sheet, which is also a known equilibrium solution of the two-dimensional Euler equations.
The goal of this work is to compute a boundary control of reaction-diffusion partial differential equation. The boundary control is subject to a constant delay, whereas the equation may be unstable without any control. For this system equivalent to a parabolic equation coupled with a transport equation, a prediction-based control is explicitly computed. To do that we decompose the infinite-dimensional system into two parts: one finite-dimensional unstable part, and one stable infinite-dimensional part. An finite-dimensional delay controller is computed for the unstable part, and it is shown that this controller succeeds in stabilizing the whole partial differential equation. The proof is based on a an explicit form of the classical Artstein transformation, and an appropriate Lyapunov function. A numerical simulation illustrate the constructive design method.
An investigation of optimal feedback controllers performance and robustness is carried out for vortex shedding behind a 2D cylinder at low Reynolds numbers. To facilitate controller design, we present an efficient modelling approach in which we utili se the resolvent operator to recast the linearised Navier-Stokes equations into an input-output form from which frequency responses can be computed. The difficulty of applying modern control design techniques to complex, high-dimensional flow systems is thus overcome by using low-order models identified from these frequency responses. The low-order models are used to design optimal control laws using $mathcal{H}_{infty}$ loop shaping. Two distinct control arrangements are considered, both of which employ a single-input and a single-output. In the first control arrangement, a velocity sensor located in the wake drives a pair of body forces near the cylinder. Complete suppression of shedding is observed up to a Reynolds number of $Re=110$. Due to the convective nature of vortex shedding and the corresponding time delays, we observe a fundamental trade-off: the sensor should be close enough to the cylinder to avoid any excessive time lag, but it should be kept sufficiently far from the cylinder to measure any unstable modes developing downstream. It is found that these two conflicting requirements become more difficult to satisfy for larger Reynolds numbers. In the second control arrangement, we consider a practical setup with a body-mounted force sensor and an actuator that oscillates the cylinder according to the lift measurement. It is shown that the system is stabilised only up to $Re=100$, and we demonstrate why the performance of the resulting feedback controllers deteriorates much more rapidly with increasing Reynolds number. The challenges of designing robust controllers for each control setup are also analysed and discussed.
The state of a continuously monitored qubit evolves stochastically, exhibiting competition between coherent Hamiltonian dynamics and diffusive partial collapse dynamics that follow the measurement record. We couple these distinct types of dynamics to gether by linearly feeding the collected record for dispersive energy measurements directly back into a coherent Rabi drive amplitude. Such feedback turns the competition cooperative, and effectively stabilizes the qubit state near a target state. We derive the conditions for obtaining such dispersive state stabilization and verify the stabilization conditions numerically. We include common experimental nonidealities, such as energy decay, environmental dephasing, detector efficiency, and feedback delay, and show that the feedback delay has the most significant negative effect on the feedback protocol. Setting the measurement collapse timescale to be long compared to the feedback delay yields the best stabilization.
We consider linear feedback control of the two-dimensional flow past a cylinder at low Reynolds numbers, with a particular focus on the optimal placement of a single sensor and a single actuator. To accommodate the high dimensionality of the flow we compute its leading resolvent forcing and response modes to enable the design of H2-optimal estimators and controllers. We then investigate three control problems: i) optimal estimation (OE) in which we measure the flow at a single location and estimate the entire flow; ii) full-state information control (FIC) in which we measure the entire flow but actuate at only one location; and iii) the overall feedback control problem in which a single sensor is available for measurement and a single actuator is available for control. We characterize the performance of these control arrangements over a range of sensor and actuator placements and discuss implications for effective feedback control when using a single sensor and a single actuator. The optimal sensor and actuator placements found for the OE and FIC problems are also compared to those found for the overall feedback control problem over a range of Reynolds numbers. This comparison reveals the key factors and conflicting trade-offs that limit feedback control performance.
