COURSE: Numerical approximation and control in fluids problems
This course is a brief exposition of the main mathematical and computational tools in control problems in fluid dynamics and their numerical approximation. The course will focus on the following topics: fluid equations; conservations laws; weak solutions; conservative numerical methods; optimization; optimal design; finite differences and adjoint methods.
The course will also have a practical scope in which the Euler equations in a sonic tube and a shape optimization problem will be solved and analyzed. In particular, participants will be guided to implement several numerical methods for linear and nonlinear scalar equations and the system of Euler equations in one dimension; including visualization techniques and simulations with MATLAB. They will also experiment with an optimization method for the Euler equations already programmed, analyzing the results in different situations. Finally, we present the analysis and optimal design of a real-life, industrial aeronautical problem.
