For instance, novel implementations of closed-loop forced heat convection control, utilising a value-based deep Q-network integrated with advanced techniques, have achieved improved thermal ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

DARPA, the Pentagon’s avant-garde advanced technologies research program, just revealed the name of a new drone technology demonstrator designed to test active flow control (AFC) systems, which ...

The project, which DARPA calls CRANE, for Control of Revolutionary Aircraft with Novel Effectors, is aimed at using active flow control, or AFC, to generate the control forces necessary for ...

There are some exceptions. Although flow is a true extensive variable, there are instances where it can be used to "create" an intensive variable. Ratio variables are used quite often in process ...

The X-65 is being designed around a concept called “active flow control” (AFC), which eliminates use of traditional moving control surfaces to manoeuvre an aircraft.

Active flow control (AFC) uses a variety of methods such as jets of air or even electric discharges to shape or sculpt the flow of air over the aircraft, the presentation notes.

This aircraft will have no exterior moving parts. It'll fly instead using Active Flow Control (AFC), using a series of nozzle arrays along the wings connected to a pressurized air system, capable ...

The X-plane effort aims to produce an aircraft that uses so-called active flow control, rather than traditional aerodynamic control surfaces such as rudders and flaps, to improve flight performance.
