This paper (the first in a series) focuses on using active-control methods to maintainlaminar flow in a region of the flow in which the natural instabilities, if left unattended,lead to turbulent flow. The authors review previous studies that examine wave cancellation(currently the most prominent method) and solve the unsteady, nonlinear Navier-Stokesequations to evaluate this method of controlling instabilities. It is definitively shownthat instabilities are controlled by the linear...
