The SPANDRELS project seeks to develop a new framework for turbulent flow control by combining manifold learning techniques with the optimal placement of a minimal set of event-based sensors. Thus, by exploiting the underlying low-dimensional structure of turbulent flows, the project aims to reduce sensing and computational requirements while maintaining effective control performance.
The project is funded by a Consolidator Grant of the European Research Council.
To achieve the objective of SPANDRELS we will study event-based vision sensors, which record changes in the scene rather than complete frames, enabling ultra-low latency.
