Abstract
Flow past one or multiple bluff bodies is almost ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications, and its rich underlying physics has made it one of the most typical problems in fluid mechanics and related disciplines. The search for ways to control such problems has attracted extensive attention from both the scientific and engineering fields, as this could potentially bring about benefits such as reduced drag, mitigated noise, suppressed vibration, and enhanced heat transfer. Flow control can be generally categorized into passive and active approaches, depending on whether there is an external energy input to the flow system. Active control is further divided into open-loop approaches and closed-loop approaches, depending on whether the controller depends on feedback signals extracted from the flow system. Unlike in many other applications of passive flow control and open-loop active flow control, theoretically advantageous closed-loop controls are quite rare in this area, due to the complicated features of flow systems. In this article, we review the recent progress in and future perspectives of flow past a single or multiple bluff bodies using model-free closed-loop control so as to outline the state-of-the-art research, determine the physical rationale, and point to some future research directions in this field.
