Piecewise optimal distributed Controls for 2D Boussinesq equations

In this article, we study the dynamics of a piecewise (in time) distributed optimal control problem for the Boussinesq equations which model velocity tracking over time coupled to thermal dynamics. We also study the dynamics of semidiscrete approximation of this problem. We prove that the rates of velocity tracking coupled to thermal dynamics are exponential and that the difference between the solution of the semi‐discrete piecewise optimal control problem and the desired states in L² and H¹ norms decay to zero exponentially as n→∞.

Optimal controls of Boussinesq equations with state constraints

This work is concerned with the maximum principle for an optimal control problem governed by Boussinesq equations. Some integral type state constraints are considered.     

Robin-type boundary control problems for the nonlinear Boussinesq type equations

In this paper, we study a linear and a nonlinear boundary control problems arising from viscous flows. The equations are of nonlinear Navier-Stokes type for the velocity and pressure, of transport-diffusion type for the temperature and the salinity. The essential difficulties are due to the nonlinear nature of a part of the boundary conditions and to the nature of the equations: time-dependent, coupled and nonlinear. The existence and the conditions of the uniqueness of the solution, for the variational problem, are studied. The control is of linear or nonlinear Robin-type and acts on a part of the boundary during a time T. The cost function measures the distance between the observed and the computed vorticity. The existence of an optimal control in the admissible set of states and controls is proved. A first order necessary conditions of optimality are obtained.     

Random Dynamics of the Boussinesq System with Dynamical Boundary Conditions

Abstract

A coupled system of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations and the salinity transport equation with spatially correlated white noise on the boundary as well as in fluid is investigated. The noise affects the system through a dynamical boundary condition. This system may be considered as a model for gravity currents in oceanic fluids. The noise is due to uncertainty in salinity flux on fluid boundary. After transforming this system into a random dynamical system, we first obtain asymptotic estimates on system evolution, and then show that the long time dynamics is captured by a random attractor.

We prove the global well-posedness for the 2-D Boussinesq system with the temperature-dependent viscosity and thermal diffusivity.     

Optimal control of time-delay systems with distributed parameters

An optimal control problem with a prescribed performance index for parabolic systems with time delays is investigated. A necessary condition for optimality is formulated and proved in the form of a maximum principle. Under additional conditions, the maximum principle gives sufficient conditions for optimality. It is also shown that the optimal control is unique. As an illustration of the theoretical consideration, an analytic solution is obtained for a time-delayed diffusion system.The author wishes to express his deep gratitude to Professors J. M.

Periodic solutions in unbounded domains for the Boussinesq system

Assuming that the external forces of the system are small enough, the reference temperature being a periodic function, we study the existence, the uniqueness and the regularity of time-periodic solutions for the Boussinesq equations in several classes of unbounded domains of Rn. Our analysis is based on the framework of weak-Lp spaces.

Some remarks on planar Boussinesq equations

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the well-posedness of the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations when the initial vorticity ω 0 ∈L1 (R 2 ) (or the finite Radon measure space). Using the stream function form of the equations and the Schauder fixed-point theorem to get the new proof of these results, we get that when the initial vorticity is smooth, there exists a unique classical solutions for the Cauchy problem of the two dimensional Boussinesq equations.     

Blow-up criterion for 2-D Boussinesq equations in bounded domain

We extend the results for 2-D Boussinesq equations from ℝ² to a bounded domain Ω. First, as for the existence of weak solutions, we transform Boussinesq equations to a nonlinear evolution equation U _t + A(t, U) = 0. In stead of using the methods of fundamental solutions in the case of entire ℝ², we study the qualities of F(u, υ) = (u · ▽)υ to get some useful estimates for A(t, U), which helps us to conclude the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of solutions. Second, as for blow-up criterions, we use energy methods, Sobolev inequalities and Gronwall inequality to control and by and . Furthermore, can control by using vorticity transportation equations. At last, can control . Thus, we can find a blow-up criterion in the form of .      

A remark on the regularity criterion of Boussinesq equations with zero heat conductivity

In this note, we consider the regularity problem under the critical condition to the Boussinesq equations with zero heat conductivity. The Serrin type regularity criteria are established in terms of the critical Besov spaces. This improves a result established in a recent work by Geng and Fan (2012)  [6].     

Solitary wave solutions of the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations

In this paper we derive an analytical solution of the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations, in the case of waves relatively long, with small amplitudes, in water of varying depth. To derive the analytical solution we first assume that the solution of the model has a prescribed wave form, and then we obtain the wave velocity, the wave number and the wave amplitude. Finally a specific application for some realistic values of wave parameters is given and a graphical presentation of the results is provided.      

An existence theorem for the Boussinesq equations with non-Dirichlet boundary conditions

The evolution Boussinesq equations describe the evolution of the temperature and velocity fields of viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids. Very often, they are a reasonable model to render relevant phenomena of flows in which the thermal effects play an essential role. In the paper we prescribe non-Dirichlet boundary conditions on a part of the boundary and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Boussinesq equations on a (short) time interval. The length of the time interval depends only on certain norms of the given data. In the proof we use a fixed point theorem method in Sobolev spaces with non-integer order derivatives. The proof is performed for Lipschitz domains and a wide class of data.     

Global persistence of geometrical structures for the Boussinesq equation with no diffusion

Our main aim is to investigate the temperature patch problem for the two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq system with partial viscosity: the initial temperature is the characteristic function of some simply connected domain with 𝒞^1,𝜀 Hölder regularity. Although recent results ensure that the 𝒞¹ regularity of the patch persists for all time, whether higher order regularity is preserved has remained an open question. In the present paper, we give a positive answer to that issue. We also study the higher dimensional case, after prescribing an additional smallness condition involving critical Lebesgue or weak-Lebesgue norms of the data, so as to get a global-in-time statement. All our results stem from general properties of persistence of geometrical structures (of independent interest), that we establish in the first part of the paper.     

On the suitable weak solutions to the Boussinesq equations in a bounded domain

In this paper we construct the suitable weak solution for the initial-boundary value problem of the Boussinesq equations and obtain some properties for these solutions. Also in the case of a two dimensional space the uniqueness of weak solution is proved.     

Convergence of a strong variational algorithm for relaxed controls involving a class of hyperbolic systems

In this paper, we consider a class of optimal control problems involving linear hyperbolic partial differential equations with Darboux boundary conditions. A strong variational algorithm has been obtained for solving this class of optimal control problems in a previous paper by the third and the first authors. It was also shown that anyL accumulation points of control sequences generated by the algorithm satisfy a necessary condition for optimality. Since such accumulation points need not exist, it is shown in this paper that the control sequences generated by the algorithm always have accumulation points in the sense of control measure, and these accumulation points satisfy a necessary condition for optimality for the corresponding relaxed control problems.This work was partially supported by the Australian Research Grant Committee, and was done during the period when Z. S. Wu and K. G. Choo were Honorary Visiting Fellows in the School of Mathematics at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
