The interest in the field of active flow control (AFC) is steadily increasing. In - cent years the number of conferences and special sessions devoted to AFC org- ized by various institutions around the world continuously rises. New advanced courses for AFC are offered by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Ast- nautics (AIAA), the European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion (ERCOFTAC), the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM), the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI), to name just a few. New books on AFC are published by prominent colleagues of our field and even a new periodical, the ‘International Journal of Flow Control’, appeared. Despite these many activities in AFC it was felt that a follow-up of the highly successful ‘ACTIVE FLOW CONTROL’ Conference held in Berlin in 2006 was appropriate. As in 2006, ‘ACTIVE FLOW CONTROL II’ consisted only of invited lectures. To sti- late multidisciplinary discussions between experimental, theoretical and numerical fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, turbomachinary, mathematics, control engineering, metrology and computer science parallel sessions were excluded. Unfortunately, not all of the presented papers made it into this volume. As the preparation and printing of a book takes time and as this volume should be available at the conf- ence, the Local Organizing Committee had to set up a very ambitious time sch- ule which could not be met by all contributors.

Abstract. Optimal control theory is combined with the numerical simulation of an incompressible viscous flow to control vortex shedding in order to maximize lift. A two-dimensional flat plate model is considered at a high angle of attack and a Reynolds number of 300. Actuation is provided by unsteady mass injection near the trailing edge and is modeled by a compact body force.
The adjoint of the linearized perturbed equations is solved backwards in time to obtain the gradient of the lift to changes in actuation (the jet velocity), and this information is used to iteratively improve the controls. The optimized control waveform is nearly periodic and locked to vortex shedding. We compare the results with sinusoidal open- and closed-loop control and observe that the optimized control is able to achieve higher lift than the sinusoidal forcing with more than 50% lower momentum coefficients.
The optimized waveform is also implemented in a simple closed-loop controller where the control signal is shifted or deformed periodically to adjust to the (instantaneous) frequency of the lift fluctuations. The feedback utilizes a narrowband filter and an Extended Kalman Filter to robustly estimate the phase of vortex shedding and achieve phase-locked, high lift flow states.
1 Introduction
Previous work on flow control over an airfoil has used periodic excitation, such as unsteady mass injection or synthetic jets, to show that the oscillatory addition of momentum can delay boundary layer separation and reattach the separated flow [7, 8], or delay dynamic stall on a rapidly pitching airfoil [10]. Unsteady actuation was also shown to change the global dynamics of vortex shedding of post-stall flow, leading to higher unsteady lift than the natural shedding [13, 17].
In this paper, we investigate a simple model of a purely translating flat plate at high angle of attack at a Reynolds number of 300, where strong, periodic vortex shedding occurs. A small amplitude body force intended to mimic oscillatory mass injection is applied near the trailing edge in order to modulate the vortex shedding. We first consider open-loop control utilizing sinusoidal waveforms. It is observed that open-loop forcing can significantly amplify the lift, but feedback is required to tune the phase of actuation to a particular phase of the measured lift in order to lock the forcing with the phase shift associated with the highest period-averaged lift.
Rather than optimizing the phase of the control relative to the lift using only sinusoidal waveform, we investigate the possibility of optimizing the lift using more general (non-sinusoidal) actuation waveforms.We utilize a gradient-based approach that has been used previously in simulations to reduce the turbulent kinetic energy and drag of a turbulent flow in a plane channel [4], or to reduce free-shear flow noise[16]. Given the DNS for a particular actuator waveform, we solve the adjoint of the perturbed linearized equations backward in time to determine the sensitivity of the lift to the actuator input, and subsequently use this information to iteratively improve control."
