Abstract :
This paper proposes a methodology for the synthesis of nonlinear finite-dimensional output feedback controllers for incompressible Newtonian fluid flows described by the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The method is used to synthesize a nonlinear feedback controller for the two-dimensional channel flow that enhances the convergence to the parabolic velocity profile
