Perspectives in Flow Control and Optimization

This book deals with flow control and optimisation as a subdiscipline of computational mathematics and computational engineering. It introduces the development and analysis of several approaches for solving flow control and optimisation problems through the use of modern CFD and optimisation methods. Gunzburger discusses many of the issues that arise, such as choices that can be made and difficulties that can be encountered, in the practical implementation of algorithms for flow control and optimisation. He provides the reader with a good idea of what types of flow control and optimisation problems can be solved, how to develop effective algorithms for solving such problems, and what to watch for when implementing the algorithms.
