Commercial buildings are responsible for a significant fraction of the energy consumption
and greenhouse gas emissions in the US and worldwide. Consequently, the design …

In his paper we consider the problem of designing a feedback controller for a thermal fluid.
Any practical feedback controller for a fluid flow system must incorporate some type of state …

This chapter focuses on the role that applications and approximations have played in the
development of practical design and computational tools for control of distributed parameter …

With a nation-wide aim toward reducing operational energy costs in buildings, it is important
to understand the dynamics of controlled heating, cooling, and air circulation of an individual …

In this paper we consider the problem of computing feedback functional gains for control
problem governed by the Boussinesq equations. These gains and the corresponding …

This work focuses on a comparison of numerical methods for linear quadratic regulator
