We investigate the application of linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) feedback control, or, in modern terms, [Hscr ]2 control, to the stabilization of the no-motion state against the onset of Rayleigh–Bénard convection in an infinite layer of Boussinesq fluid. We use two sensing and actuating methods: the planar sensor model (Tang & Bau 1993, 1994), and the shadowgraph model (Howle 1997a). By extending the planar sensor model to the multi-sensor case, it is shown that a LQG controller is capable of stabilizing the no-motion state up to 14.5 times the critical Rayleigh number. We characterize the robustness of the controller with respect to parameter uncertainties, unmodelled dynamics. Results indicate that the LQG controller provides robust performances even at high Rayleigh numbers.
