Univ logo Conclusions and Future Work Turbulent flows are complex systems which exhibit high skin-friction drag Justifiable to control the linear dynamics only, as long as the nonlinearity is modeled appropriately as a source of uncertainty Passivity-based and H ∞ loop-shaping controllers tested using DNS Future work LQR/LQG control of FIK identity Investigate new forms of actuation UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase Slide 6
