Control of chaotic Taylor-Couette flow with time-delayed feedback

Phys Rev Lett. 2001 Feb 26;86(9):1745-8. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.1745.

Abstract

We demonstrate that unstable periodic orbits embedded in the experimental chaotic attractor determined by the Taylor-Couette flow can be stabilized with a time-delay autosynchronization algorithm. The optimal parameters of the feedback and their dependence on the control parameter are shown as experimental results.
