Boundary stabilizing actuators for multi-phase fluids in a channel

Abstract

This work is devoted to the problem of boundary stabilization of a mixture of two viscous and incompressible fluids in a three dimensional channel-like domain (x,y,z)∈R×(0,1)×R. The model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, governing the fluid velocity, coupled with a convective Cahn-Hilliard equation for the relative density of the atoms of one of the fluids. The feedback stabilizing controller, we design here, is with actuation only on the tangential component of the velocity field on both walls y=0,1. Moreover, it is given in a simple and explicit form, easy to manipulate from the computational point of view.
