Hypotheses
Continuously varying inflow velocity v
Changing configuration C is time consuming
Objective
Real-time maximization of the back face step force f (C, v )
by modification of the actuators
Definition (Optimal configuration)
The optimal configuration C (v ) maximizes the force f (_, v ):
C (v ) =
f ((c0 , . . . , c4 ), v )
argmax

Introduction
Optimizing the Flow
Conclusion
Controller - Local optimal configuration

Global optimization is not suited
Ideally, instantaneously change the current configuration to C (v ).
Takes time t practically
Inflow velocity at time t + t: v 0 6= v C (v 0 ) 6= C (v )
Optimization using a neighborhood structure
Search the best configuration in the neighborhood of C
Neighborhood set N(C) = {C 0 = (c00 , . . . , c40 ) | |cj0 cj | 33 and 0 j 4}
) = argmax f (C 0 , v )
For each pair (C, v ) the local optimal configuration is C(v
