- Linear feedback control has been applied to channel and boundary-layer flows using blowing and suction control. In channel flows the transition threshold is increased for three different perturbation types and a turbulent flow at Re-tau = 100 is relaminarized using full state information control. In a spatially developing Falkner - Skan - Cooke boundary-layer flow a full-state information controller is shown to change exponential growth in perturbation energy to exponential decay. In a similar configuration, the full-state information controller is combined with an estimator to reduce the requirement of full-state information to only measurements of different flow quantities at wall. The combined controller and estimator is referred to as a compensator and is shown to work well for a pointsource induced wave-packet. This is a review article based on several publications. However, here we have also included selected animations that illustrate the characteristics of the control in more detail. An important observation from the animations is that the control acts and reduces the disturbance level in a short amount of time. Also, the transient of the convergence in the estimator forcing is relatively fast. Overall these studies show that both the controller and estimator is quite insensitive to the specific conditions they were constructed for.

- We focus on the problem of controlling pointsource induced perturbations on an infinite swept wing using linear control theory. Based on wall measurements in a spatial simulation of localized disturbances in Falkner-Skan-Cooke boundary layers, an extended Kalman filter is used to estimate the full three-dimensional wave packet. The estimated field is in turn used to calculate a feedback control which changes the growth of the disturbance into decay. This is the first time that optimal control and estimation concepts are successfully applied to construct a dynamic output feedback compensator which is used to control disturbances in spatially developing boundary layers.

- Modern linear control theory has recently been established as a viable tool for developing effective, spatially localized convolution kernels for the feedback control and estimation of linearized Navier-Stokes systems. In the present paper, the effectiveness of these kernels for significantly expanding the basin of attraction of the laminar state in a subcritical nonlinear channel flow system is quantified using direct numerical simulations for a range of Reynolds numbers (Re-q = 2000, 3000 and 5000) and for a variety of initial conditions of physical interest. This is done by quantifying the change in the transition thresholds (see Reddy et al. 1998) when feedback control is applied. Such transition thresholds provide a relevant measure of performance for transition control strategies even in the nonlinear regime. Initial flow perturbations with streamwise vortices, oblique waves, and random excitations over an array of several Fourier modes are considered. It is shown that the minimum amplitude of these initial flow perturbations that is sufficient to excite nonlinear instability, and thereby promote transition to turbulence, is significantly increased by application of the control feedback. The kernels used to apply the feedback are found to decay exponentially with distance far from the origin, as predicted by the analysis of Bamieh, Paganini & Dahleh (2002). In the present paper, it is demonstrated via numerical simulation that truncation of these spatially localized convolution kernels to spatially compact kernels with finite non-zero support does not significantly degrade the effectiveness of the control feedback. In addition to the new state-feedback control results, exponential convergence of a localized physical-space state estimator with wall measurements is also demonstrated. The estimator and the full-state feedback controller are then combined to obtain a wall-information-based linear compensator. The compensator performance is also quantified, and key issues related to improving the performance of this compensator, which is degraded compared with the full-state feedback controller, are discussed.

Linear optimal control applied to instabilities in spatially developing boundary layers
- 2002

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The work presented extends previous research on linear controllers in temporal channel flow to spatially evolving boundary layer flow. The flows studied are those on an infinite swept wedge described by the Falkner-Skan-Cooke (FSC) velocity profiles, including the special case of the flow over a flat plate. These velocity profiles are used as the base flow in the Orr-Sommerfeld-Squire equations to compute the optimal feedback control through blowing and suction at the wall utilizing linear optimal control theory. The control is applied to a parallel FSC flow with unstable perturbations. Through an eigenvalue analysis and direct numerical simulations (DNS), it is shown that instabilities are stabilized by the controller in the parallel case. The localization of the convolution kernels for control is also shown for the FSC profiles. Assuming that non-parallel effects are small a technique is developed to apply the same controllers to a DNS of a spatially evolving flow. The performance of these controllers is tested in a Blasius flow with both a Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) wave and an optimal spatial transiently growing perturbation. It is demonstrated that TS waves are stabilized and that transient growth is lowered by the controller. Then the control is also applied to a spatial FSC flow with unstable perturbations leading to saturated cross-flow vortices in the uncontrolled case. It is demonstrated that the linear controller successfully inhibits the growth of the cross-flow vortices to a saturated level and thereby delays the possibility of transition through secondary instabilities. It is also demonstrated that the controller works for relatively high levels of nonlinearity, and for stationary as well as time-varying perturbations.

Relaminarization of Re-tau=100 turbulence using gain scheduling and linear state-feedback control
- 2003

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The first successful application of linear full-state feedback optimal control theory to consistently relaminarize turbulent channel flow at Re-tau=100 with full state information and gain scheduling is reported. The actuation is zero-net mass-flux blowing and suction on the channel walls. Two key issues central to the success of this strategy are: (a) the choice of the mean-flow profile about which the equations are linearized for the computation of the linear feedback gains, and (b) the choice of an objective function which targets the control effort on the flow perturbations of interest. A range of mean-flow profiles between the laminar and fully turbulent profiles and a weighted energy measure which targets flow perturbations in the near-wall region were found to provide effective feedback gains. A gain-scheduling strategy to tune the feedback gains to the nonstationary mean-flow profile is introduced, resulting in consistent relaminarization of the turbulent flow in all realizations tested.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Due to the current fast-paced business environment, new approaches to product development (PD) have been requested. In that matter, the agile approach has gained interest among researchers and practitioners. Based on its positive results in the software industry, it has started to be adopted in the manufacturing industry. Nevertheless, there are factors that manufacturing companies must consider while adopting the agile approach, and there is a lack of in-depth empirical studies about those factors. In that matter, this paper presents the preliminary findings of a single case study of a large manufacturing company. The data collection consisted of fifteen semi-structured interviews with persons with key roles in different organizational functions. The identified factors were analyzed and presented according to a product development system (PDS) perspective which encompasses people, process, and technology and tools subsystems. For the people subsystem, the study identified factors related to cross-functional integration and coordination, cross-functional communication, organizational culture, understanding of the agile approach, definition of roles and responsibilities, and people involvement and support. In respect of the process subsystem, the study identified factors associated with workload leveling and development interfaces. Regarding the technology and tools subsystem, the study identified factors related to the integration of information systems, and technology and manufacturing readiness levels. As a result, the study contributes further to the establishment of the factors that may influence the adoption of the agile approach in the PDS of a large manufacturing company.

- 2022
-
In: SPS 2022 - Proceedings of the 10th Swedish Production Symposium. - 2352-7528 .- 2352-751X. - 9781614994398 ; 21, s. 553-565

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Additive manufacturing (AM) was introduced the 1980's for rapid prototyping (RP) purposes but now AM provides complementary techniques to conventional manufacturing processes and offers advantages when components can be exacting, impossible, and too costly to be produced by conventional methods due to complex structures and geometric configurations, which require tailored designs. They are also often mass-customized components, with custom-made properties and low volume production requirements making AM the 'technology of choice' since its added-value aspects cannot be achieved by any other manufacturing technologies. These advancements in manufacturing, demand standardized fact-based decision support systems (DSSs), to support AM practitioners in their task selecting the most suitable techniques for given applications. Hence, this paper aims to increase the understanding of what - of how - DSSs are used in selecting and utilizing AM in various applications. This paper's core message, considering practical implications, is to guide and support AM researchers with an overview of the DSSs for AM landscape. This paper presents and compares different models and tools classified within four categories used as DSS for AM and identifies their advantages and disadvantages by conducting a 3-step systematic literature review (SLR). A total of 388 literatures were initially retrieved, and according to an inclusion criteria analysis, the literatures were evaluated. This is the first SLR emphasizing and synthesizing obtainable literatures on AM DSS. Until now, this topic has acquired narrow exploration; however, the authors believe it is of rapidly growing importance to both scientists and practitioners.
