c. Flow Control of Object Positions and Orientations
Collaborators: Alex Liddle, Andy Berglund
Post-doc: Pramod Mathai
In addition to controlling the location of objects, we have recently begun to design controllers to also control the orientation of objects. Here we precisely control the fluid shear (or electric shear for objects that have a surface charge) to always correct an objects orientation from what it is to what it should be.
A current (simulation only) result is shown below.
