This concise and practical textbook presents an introduction to backstepping, an elegant new approach to boundary control of partial differential equations (PDEs). Backstepping provides mathematical ...

Notable features of the facility include boundary layer suction control and tilting ceilings with adjustable pressure gradients. The wind tunnel is outfitted with extensive measurement capabilities, ...

Frictional drag comes from friction between the fluid and the surfaces over which it is flowing. This friction is associated with the development of boundary layers, and it scales with Reynolds number ...
