Closed-loop controlled interactions between an airfoil and impinging vortices were experimentally investigated. This work aims to minimize the fluctuating flow pressure (p) at the leading edge of the airfoil, which is a major source of the blade-vortex interaction noises commonly seen in rotorcrafts. Piezo-ceramic actuators were used to create a local surface perturbation near the leading edge of the airfoil in order to alter the airfoil-vortex interaction. Two closed-loop control schemes were investigated, which deployed p and the streamwise fluctuating flow velocity (u) as the feedback signal, respectively. While the control effect on p was measured using a fast response pressure transducer, the oncoming vortical flow was monitored using a particle image velocimetry and a hot wire. It was found that the control scheme based on the feedback signal u led to a pronounced impairment in the strength of oncoming vortices and meanwhile a maximum reduction in p by 39%, outperforming the control scheme based on the feedback signal p. Physics behind the observations is discussed.

For the effective use of modern tools, the inherent visuo-motor transformation needs to be mastered. The successful adjustment to and learning of these transformations crucially depends on practice conditions, particularly on the type of visual feedback during practice. Here, a review about empirical research exploring the influence of continuous and terminal visual feedback during practice on the mastery of visuo-motor transformations is provided. Two studies investigating the impact of the type of visual feedback on either direction-dependent visuo-motor gains or the complex visuo-motor transformation of a virtual two-sided lever are presented in more detail. The findings of these studies indicate that the continuous availability of visual feedback supports performance when closed-loop control is possible, but impairs performance when visual input is no longer available. Different approaches to explain these performance differences due to the type of visual feedback during practice are considered. For example, these differences could reflect a process of re-optimization of motor planning in a novel environment or represent effects of the specificity of practice. Furthermore, differences in the allocation of attention during movements with terminal and continuous visual feedback could account for the observed differences.
