From bypass transition to flow control and data-driven turbulence modeling: an input–output viewpoint

MR Jovanović - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Transient growth and resolvent analyses are routinely used to assess nonasymptotic
properties of fluid flows. In particular, resolvent analysis can be interpreted as a special case …

Stochastic dynamical modeling of turbulent flows

A Zare, TT Georgiou… - Annual Review of Control …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Advanced measurement techniques and high-performance computing have made large

Resolvent-based estimation of space–time flow statistics

A Towne, A Lozano-Durán, X Yang - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
We develop a method to estimate space–time flow statistics from a limited set of known data.
While previous work has focused on modelling spatial or temporal statistics independently …

Colour of turbulence

A Zare, MR Jovanović, TT Georgiou - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
In this paper, we address the problem of how to account for second-order statistics of
turbulent flows using low-complexity stochastic dynamical models based on the linearized …

Model-based design of riblets for turbulent drag reduction

W Ran, A Zare, MR Jovanović - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
Both experiments and direct numerical simulations have been used to demonstrate that
riblets can reduce turbulent drag by as much as, but their systematic design remains an …

Model-based spectral coherence analysis

S Abootorabi, A Zare - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Recent data-driven efforts have utilized spectral decomposition techniques to uncover the
geometric self-similarity of dominant motions in the logarithmic layer, and thereby validate …

Proximal algorithms for large-scale statistical modeling and sensor/actuator selection

A Zare, H Mohammadi, NK Dhingra… - … on Automatic Control, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Several problems in modeling and control of stochastically driven dynamical systems can be
cast as regularized semidefinite programs. We examine two such representative problems …

Low-rank optimization with convex constraints

C Grussler, A Rantzer… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The problem of low-rank approximation with convex constraints, which appears in data
analysis, system identification, model order reduction, low-order controller design, and low …

Stochastic receptivity analysis of boundary layer flow

W Ran, A Zare, MJP Hack, MR Jovanović - Physical Review Fluids, 2019 - APS
We utilize the externally forced linearized Navier-Stokes equations to study the receptivity of
pre-transitional boundary layers to persistent sources of stochastic excitation. Stochastic …

The generalised resolvent-based turbulence estimation with arbitrarily sampled measurements in time

A Ying, Z Li, L Fu - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
In this study, the resolvent-based estimation (RBE) is further generalised to cases with
arbitrarily sampled measurements in time, where the generalised RBE is denoted as GRBE …
