DESCRIPTION:Flow control aims at the targeted manipulation of inherent flo
 w behavior and is a critical component in efforts to delay instabilities\,
  reduce\ndrag\, decrease receptivities or extend the operational parameter
  range of a fluid device. The design of flow control strategies relies on 
 a\nmodel for the fluid system but also a model for the noise environment. 
  For flows that are insensitive to external noise (oscillator flows)\,\nef
 fective control strategies have been designed with considerable success\; 
 for flows that respond sensitively to environmental noise\n(amplifier flow
 s)\, however\, the design of effective control schemes is far more challen
 ging\, as it crucially depends on the quality of the\nnoise model. We will
  present and discuss the critical steps in the design of flow control sche
 mes for both types of flow behavior and\ncompare and contrast a model-base
 d and data-based approach.
