The mathematical formulation of the problem
leads to a constrained optimization problem.
The constraints are the Navier Stokes equations.
The optimization problem has been solved
using the TRICE_U
algorithms.
An interesting aspect of the problem is the
importance of the infinite dimensional
problem formulation and its interaction
with the finite dimensional problem and
the optimizer.
In the following, the problem formulation is sketched in the and the results of some computations More details can be found in the paper M. Heinkenschloss: Sequential Quadratic Programming Methods for the Control of Fluids Governed by the Steady State Navier Stokes Equations.
