FINITE ELEMENT APPROXIMATION AND COMPUTATIONS OF BOUNDARY OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS FOR THE NAVIER-STOKES FLOWS THROUGH A CHANNEL WITH STEPS

  • Published : 1999.01.01

Abstract

We study a boundary optimal control problem of the fluid flow governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. the control problem is formulated with the flow through a channel with steps. The first-order optimality condition of the optimal control is derived. Finite element approximations of the solutions of the optimality system are defined and optimal error estimates are derived. finally, we present some numerical results.
