Numerical null controllability of parabolic PDEs using Lagrangian methods
Enrique Fernandez-Cara, Roberto Morales, Diego A. Souza
In this paper, we study several theoretical and numerical questions concerning the null controllability problems for linear parabolic equations and systems for several dimensions.…
On the control of a simplified k-e model of turbulence
Pitágoras Pinheiro de Carvalho, Juan Bautista LÃmaco Ferrel, Enrique Fernandez-Cara
This paper deals with the control of a kind of turbulent flows. We consider a simplified k-e model with distributed controls, locally supported in space. We proof that the system i…
Remarks on the control of two-phase Stefan free-boundary problems
Raul K. C. Araújo, Enrique Fernández-Cara, Juan LÃmaco +1
This paper concerns the null controllability of the two-phase 1D Stefan problem with distributed controls. This is a free-boundary problem that models solidification or melting pro…
Boundary controllability of incompressible Euler fluids with Boussinesq heat effects
Enrique Fernández-Cara, MaurÃcio C. Santos, Diego A. Souza
This paper deals with the boundary controllability of inviscid incompressible fluids for which thermal effects are important. They will be modeled through the so called Boussinesq…
On the numerical controllability of the two-dimensional heat, Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations
Enrique Fernández-Cara, Arnaud Münch, Diego A. Souza
The aim of this work is to present some strategies to solve numerically controllability problems for the two-dimensional heat equation, the Stokes equations and the Navier-Stokes e…
Uniform local null control of the Leray- model
Fágner D. Araruna, Enrique Fernández-Cara, Diego A. Souza
This paper deals with the distributed and boundary controllability of the so called Leray- model. This is a regularized variant of the Navier-Stokes system ( is a small pos…
