FAU MoD Lecture: Control Design for Mixing in Incompressible Flows
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Weiwei Hu
Affiliation: Visiting Professor at FAU DCN-AvH from University of Georgia, Athens (UGA)

Abstract. 

Understanding mass transport, fluid mixing, and their asymptotic behaviors via active control of the flow advection leads to fundamental, yet highly challenging problems often found in industrial and engineering applications. Examples include, but are certainly not limited to, ventilation in energy efficient buildings, mixing for bioorganic nutrient conversion, and activated sludge systems in industrial wastewater treatment. From a theoretic perspective, mixing has been studied by means of dynamical systems theory, homogenization, turbulence theory, control and optimization, etc. In this talk, we focus on control design for enhancing transport and mixing in incompressible flows. We will present some recent progresses as well as some open questions.
