Abstract:In this work, we design a policy-iterationbased Q-learning approach for on-line optimal control of ionized hypersonic flow at the inlet of a scramjet engine. Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) has been recently proposed as a means for flow control in various aerospace problems. This mechanism corresponds to applying external magnetic fields to ionized flows towards achieving desired flow behavior. The applications range from external flow control for producing forces and moments on the air-vehicle to internal flow co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
