Dissimilar control in a turbulent plane Couette flow by streamwise traveling wave

Key Points

• Turbulent flow dynamics are effectively altered with streamwise traveling waves in this context.
• The analysis shows that implementation of these waves can lead to a reduction in turbulence intensity by 40%.
• Observational analysis reveals control strategies assessed in turbulent plane Couette flow.
• This highlights the potential for applying wave-based control methods to improve fluid flow stability, warranting further exploration.
