Abstract
Handling uncertainty is one of the most important challenges in real physical systems. In this article, we study an approximate optimal magnetic control strategy for a one-dimensional (1-D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system with uncertainty quantification within the learning framework of the underlying MHD model. First, the MHD flow system is modeled by coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) wherein the Reynolds number is not deterministic but random. Then, the optimal magnetic control problem is formulated and reduced to a parameter selection problem with stochastic PDE constraints by means of the control parameterization method. Significantly different from the conventional sensitivity analysis and adjoint methods, a polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) based on a multifidelity model is developed to construct the underlying PDEs model by polynomial functions. Thus, the relationship between the objective function and the control sequence is derived explicitly, which, in turn, transforms the optimal parameter selection problem with stochastic PDE constraints into a typical algebraic optimization problem that can be easily solved by the existing nonlinear programming algorithm. Numerical simulations are illustrated to demonstrate the high performance of our proposed method.
