  • Linear quadratic control of plane Poiseuille flow-the transient behaviour. 
    McKernan, John; Whidborne, James F.; Papadakis, George (Taylor and Francis, 2007-12)
    This paper describes the design of optimal linear quadratic controllers for single wavenumber-pair periodic 2-D disturbances in plane Poiseuille flow, and subsequent verification using a finite-volume full Navier-Stokes ...
  • A linear state-space representation of plane Poiseuille flow for control design: a tutorial. 
    McKernan, John; Papadakis, George; Whidborne, James F. (Inderscience Publishers, 2006-01-01)
    A method for the incorporation of wall transpiration into a model of lin- earised plane Poiseuille °ow is presented, with the aim of producing a state- space model suitable for the development of feedback control of ...
  • Minimizing transient energy growth in plane Poiseuille flow 
    Whidborne, James F.; McKernan, John; Papadakis, George (Professional Engineering Publishing, 2008-01-01)
    The feedback control of laminar plane Poiseuille flow is considered. In common with many flows, the dynamics of plane Poiseuille flow is very non-normal. Consequently, small perturbations grow rapidly with a large transient ...
