Abstract: | The effectiveness of a small array of body-mounted sensors, for estimation and eventually feedback flow control of a D-shaped
cylinder wake is investigated experimentally. The research is aimed at suppressing unsteady loads resulting from the von-Kármán
vortex shedding in the wake of bluff-bodies at a Reynolds number range of 100–1,000. A low-dimensional proper orthogonal decomposition
(POD) procedure was applied to the stream-wise and cross-stream velocities in the near wake flow field, with steady-state
vortex shedding, obtained using particle image velocimetry (PIV). Data were collected in the unforced condition, which served
as a baseline, as well as during influence of forcing within the “lock-in” region. The design of sensor number and placement
was based on data from a laminar direct numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. A linear stochastic estimator
(LSE) was employed to map the surface-mounted hot-film sensor signals to the temporal coefficients of the reduced order model
of the wake flow field in order to provide accurate yet compact estimates of the low-dimensional states. For a three-sensor
configuration, results show that the estimation error of the first two cross-stream modes is within 20–40% of the PIV-generated
POD time coefficients. Based on previous investigations, this level of error is acceptable for a moderately robust controller
required for feedback flow control. |
