Summary
Chapter 1 provides background and motivation for flow control that is used to achieve a positive outcome, such as drag reduction, enhanced mixing, reduced acoustic levels, or other performance metrics. It emphasizes exploiting fluid instabilities as a means of amplifying small flow actuator inputs in both passive and active approaches. Examples are introduced for a variety of flow fields. These are later detailed in subsequent chapters.
