Abstract
The controllability of real-world flow turbulence governed by two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, was theoretically investigated using strategies developed in the domain of chaos control. The control of flow turbulence to a spatially periodic pattern, was considered. The control was characterized in terms of control error versus time and the time-averaged control error versus the coupling strength. The results provide an example of controllability of flow turbulence which demonstrates different characteristics from many other distributed systems.
