Optimal Neumann Control for the Two-dimensional Steady-state Navier-Stokes equations

  • Chapter
New Directions in Mathematical Fluid Mechanics

Part of the book series: Advances in Mathematical Fluid Mechanics ((AMFM))

Abstract

An optimal control problem, the minimization of drag, is considered for the 2D stationary Navier-Stokes equations. The control is of Neumann kind and acts at a part of the boundary which is contiguous to the rigid boundary where the no-slip condition holds. Further, certain constraints are imposed on the control and the phase variable. We derive an existence theorem as well as the corresponding optimality system
