Local null controllability of a two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction problem
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Volume 14 (2008) no. 1, pp. 1-42.

In this paper, we prove a controllability result for a fluid-structure interaction problem. In dimension two, a rigid structure moves into an incompressible fluid governed by Navier-Stokes equations. The control acts on a fixed subset of the fluid domain. We prove that, for small initial data, this system is null controllable, that is, for a given T>0, the system can be driven at rest and the structure to its reference configuration at time T. To show this result, we first consider a linearized system. Thanks to an observability inequality obtained from a Carleman inequality, we prove an optimal controllability result with a regular control. Next, with the help of Kakutani’s fixed point theorem and a regularity result, we pass to the nonlinear problem.
