Analysis And Finite-Element Approximation Of Optimal-Control Problems For The Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations With Distributed And Neumann Controls, Max D. Gunzburger, L. Hou, Tom Svobodny Jul 1991

Analysis And Finite-Element Approximation Of Optimal-Control Problems For The Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations With Distributed And Neumann Controls, Max D. Gunzburger, L. Hou, Tom Svobodny

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We examine certain analytic and numerical aspects of optimal control problems for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations. The controls considered may be of either the distributed or Neumann type; the functionals minimized are either the viscous dissipation or the L4-distance of candidate flows to some desired flow. We show the existence of optimal solutions and justify the use of Lagrange multiplier techniques to derive a system of partial differential equations from which optimal solutions may be deduced. We study the regularity of solutions of this system. Then, we consider the approximation, by finite element methods, of solutions of the …


Analysis And Finite Element Approximation Of Optimal Control Problems For The Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations With Dirichlet Controls, M. D. Gunzburger, L. S. Hou, Tom Svobodny Jan 1991

Analysis And Finite Element Approximation Of Optimal Control Problems For The Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations With Dirichlet Controls, M. D. Gunzburger, L. S. Hou, Tom Svobodny

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Optimal control problems for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations are examined from analytical and numerical points of view. The controls considered are of Dirichlet type, that is, control is effected through the velocity field on (or the mass flux through) the boundary; the functionals minimized are either the viscous dissipation or the L4-distance of candidate flows to some desired flow. We show that optimal solutions exist and justify the use of Lagrange multiplier techniques to derive a system of partial differential equations from which optimal solutions may be deduced. We study the regularity of solutions of this system. The n, finite …
