ABSTRACT
Recent years have been marked by dramatic advances in the field of active flow control. This development can be credited not only to advances in the various fields that intersect through this discipline (such as control theory, fluid mechanics, PDE theory, and numerical methods), but also to technological developments such asMicro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors and actuators and the ever-increasing prowess of last-generation computers, that have augmented the possibilities of effective implementation in both real-life and numerical experiments. However, the area is far from being mature with still many opportunities and challenging open problems.
