Our approach is to linearize the flow about a desired steady-state flow, use interpolation-based model reduction on the resulting linear model to generate a low-dimensional model of the input-output system with input-independent error bounds, then use this reduced model to design the feedback control law. Closed-loop simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations demonstrate the effectiveness of this control strategy. |
