An optimal control strategy to design passive thermal cloaks of arbitrary shape
Riccardo Saporiti, Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni +1
In this paper we describe a numerical framework for achieving passive thermal cloaking of arbitrary shapes in both static and transient regimes. The design strategy is cast as the…
Optimal Control of Short-Time Attractors in Active Fluid Flows
Carlo Sinigaglia, Francesco Braghin, Mattia Serra
Objective Eulerian Coherent Structures (OECSs) and instantaneous Lyapunov exponents (iLEs) govern short-term material transport in fluid flows as Lagrangian Coherent Structures and…
Optimal Strategies to Steer and Control Water Waves
Sebastiano Cominelli, Carlo Sinigaglia, Davide Enrico Quadrelli +1
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for controlling surface water waves and their interaction with floating bodies. We consider a floating target rigid body surrounded by a…
Robust optimal density control of robotic swarms
Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni, Francesco Braghin +1
In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient, robust density control strategy for the mean-field model of a robotic swarm. We formulate a static optimal control problem (O…
Indirect Optimal Control of Advection-Diffusion Fields through Robotic Swarms
Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni, Francesco Braghin +1
In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally guiding a large-scale swarm of underwater vehicles that is tasked with the indirect control of an advection-diffusion environmen…
Fast active thermal cloaking through PDE-constrained optimization and reduced-order modeling
Carlo Sinigaglia, Davide Enrico Quadrelli, Andrea Manzoni +1
In this paper we show how to efficiently achieve thermal cloaking from a computational standpoint in several virtual scenarios by controlling a distribution of active heat sources.…
Design of arbitrarily shaped acoustic cloaks through PDE-constrained optimization satisfying sonic-metamaterial design requirements
Sebastiano Cominelli, Davide Enrico Quadrelli, Carlo Sinigaglia +1
We develop an optimization framework for the design of acoustic cloaks, with the aim of overcoming the limitations of usual transformation-based cloaks in terms of microstructure c…
Optimal Control of Velocity and Nonlocal Interactions in the Mean-Field Kuramoto Model
Carlo Sinigaglia, Francesco Braghin, Spring Berman
In this paper, we investigate how the self-synchronization property of a swarm of Kuramoto oscillators can be controlled and exploited to achieve target densities and target phase…
Density control of large-scale particles swarm through PDE-constrained optimization
Carlo Sinigaglia, Andrea Manzoni, Francesco Braghin
We describe in this paper an optimal control strategy for shaping a large-scale swarm of particles using boundary global actuation. This problem arises as a key challenge in many s…
