In this paper, we consider the boundary control problem of the unforced generalized Kortewegde Vries-Burgers (GKdVB) equation when the spatial domain is [0, 1]. Three control laws are derived for this equation and the L 2 -global exponential stability of the solution is proved analytically. Numerical results using the finite element method (FEM) are presented to illustrate the developed control schemes.
This paper is devoted to the control problem of a nonlinear dynamical system obtained by a truncation of the two-dimensional (2D) Navier–Stokes (N-S) equations with periodic boundary conditions and with a sinusoidal external force along the x-direction. This special case of the 2D N-S equations is known as the 2D Kolmogorov flow. Firstly, the dynamics of the 2D Kolmogorov flow which is represented by a nonlinear dynamical system of seven ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of a laminar steady state flow regime and a periodic flow regime are analyzed; numerical simulations are given to illustrate the analysis. Secondly, an adaptive controller is designed for the system of seven ODEs representing the approximation of the dynamics of the 2D Kolmogorov flow to control its dynamics either to a steady-state regime or to a periodic regime; the value of the Reynolds number is determined using an update law. Then, a static sliding mode controller and a dynamic sliding mode controller are designed for the system of seven ODEs representing the approximation of the dynamics of the 2D Kolmogorov flow to control its dynamics either to a steady-state regime or to a periodic regime. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed three control schemes. The simulation results clearly show that the proposed controllers work well.
