Control of Turbulent and Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flows: Boundary Stabilization and State Estimation

by Rafael Vazquez and Miroslav Krstić

This monograph presents new constructive design methods for boundary stabilization and boundary estimation for several classes of benchmark problems in flow control, with potential applications to turbulence control, weather forecasting, and plasma control. One of the main features of the book is a unique "backstepping" approach to parabolic partial differential equations, which yields not only the stabilization of the flow, but also the explicit...
