Abstract

AbstractThis article considers the time‐dependent optimal control problem of tracking the velocity for the viscous incompressible flows which is governed by a Ladyzhenskaya equations with distributed control. The existence of the optimal solution is shown and the first‐order optimality condition is established. The semidiscrete‐in‐time approximation of the optimal control problem is also given. The spatial discretization of the optimal control problem is accomplished by using a new stabilized finite element method which does not need a stabilization parameter or calculation of high order derivatives. Finally a gradient algorithm for the fully discrete optimal control problem is effectively proposed and implemented with some numerical examples. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
