Keywords: flow control
The Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA) Micro Adaptive Flow Control
program is described using a series of
illustrative examples. Adaptive flow control is
defined to be the active modification of
aerodynamic flows using small time dependent
actuators in judiciously chosen locations. A
diverse set of large scale applications are
described, in which micro adaptive flow control
has a substantial overall system benefit.
