Control of streaky disturbances in the boundary layer over a flat plate

Abstract

© 31st Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, ICAS 2018. All rights reserved.The present work considers control of perturbations in the boundary layer over a flat plate by means of adaptive methods. In particular, we focus our attention on a control law based on a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) filtered-x least-mean-square (fxLMS) adaptive algorithm. The studies are performed through direct numerical simulations. The perturbation field studied here mimics those generated by freestream turbulence with different amplitude and scales. Plasma actuators and shear-stress sensors are considered to mimic a real case scenario.
