Control of the surface of a fluid by a wavemaker
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Volume 10 (2004) no. 3, pp. 346-380.

The control of the surface of water in a long canal by means of a wavemaker is investigated. The fluid motion is governed by the Korteweg-de Vries equation in lagrangian coordinates. The null controllability of the elevation of the fluid surface is obtained thanks to a Carleman estimate and some weighted inequalities. The global uncontrollability is also established.
