Motivation
Goal:  Adaptive control of flow over active surfaces
§   Closed loop control + distributed transducers
§    Control technology for flexible structures undergoing flow separation
System characteristics
§   Unsteady, 3D, separated flow
§    Very flexible and deformable airfoil
è   Highly nonlinear and strong fluid-structure interaction
Challenges
§   Nonlinear + distributed control problem
§    Low power, fast response
§    Inverse problem
