Special Issue: Smart Flow Control in Micro Scale

Special issue on micro-UAV perception and control

This special journal issue focuses on the problems of perception and control for micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These two topic areas are particularly important when considering autonomous micro-UAVs capable of operating in complex and challenging environments. A fundamental limitation of micro-UAVs arises from the onboard power for actuation, sensing, and computation, which can be insu...

FGCS special issue on smart cards

A smart card is a small computer with a number of interesting properties. A smart card is reliable and inexpensive, and it is packaged in the same way as a credit card. This makes it feasible to distribute smart cards to millions of users. A smart card is a programmable computer, and thus ooers exibility. Finally, a smart card can protect data from unauthorised access. These properties make sma...

Special Issue on Global Flow Instability and Control

This special issue is intended to provide a snapshot of current research in the area of “Global Flow Instability and Control”. The original papers, and to a certain extent the topic itself, are intimately linked with the series of symposia by the same name that were held in Crete, Greece, between 2001 and 2009. As members of the organizing committees of the Crete symposia, we invited all past p...

Special Issue on “ Micro Wind - Power Applications ”

The achievement of technologically efficient solutions for energy generation, distribution and usage represents a crucial need of modern society, both for environmental and economic reasons. An important role in tackling future energy challenges is played on one hand by the replacement of the electrical energy production from conventional fossil based (coal, natural gas, and oil) sources to ren...
