Stochastic modelling and feedback control of bistability in a turbulent bluff body wake

RD Brackston, JMG De La Cruz, A Wynn… - Journal of Fluid …, 2016 - cambridge.org
A specific feature of three-dimensional bluff body wakes, flow bistability, is a subject of
particular recent interest. This feature consists of a random flipping of the wake between two …

Drag reduction of a car model by linear genetic programming control

R Li, BR Noack, L Cordier, J Borée, F Harambat - Experiments in Fluids, 2017 - Springer
