Closed‐loop adaptive model predictive control of a bluff body wake

Abstract A machine learning methodology is outlined to achieve robust closed‐loop feedback control of a bluff body turbulent wake. A Long Short‐Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network is implemented with Model Predictive Control (MPC) to achieve closed‐loop flow control. The LSTM model is trained using actuation and pressure sensor data to forecast future pressure states. The candidate system is a square cross‐sectional cylinder with two modulated …
