    Simulation and control of a nonsmooth Cahn--Hilliard Navier--Stokes system with variable fluid densities
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Gräßle, Carmen; Hintermüller, Michael; Hinze, Michael; Keil, Tobias
    We are concerned with the simulation and control of a two phase flow model governed by a coupled Cahn--Hilliard Navier--Stokes system involving a nonsmooth energy potential.We establish the existence of optimal solutions and present two distinct approaches to derive suitable stationarity conditions for the bilevel problem, namely C- and strong stationarity. Moreover, we demonstrate the numerical realization of these concepts at the hands of two adaptive solution algorithms relying on a specifically developed goal-oriented error estimator.In addition, we present a model order reduction approach using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD-MOR) in order to replace high-fidelity models by low order surrogates. In particular, we combine POD with space-adapted snapshots and address the challenges which are the consideration of snapshots with different spatial resolutions and the conservation of a solenoidal property.

    Numerical analysis of Lavrentiev-regularized state constrained elliptic control problems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Hinze, Michael; Meyer, Christian
    In the present work, we apply semi-discretization proposed by the first author in [13] to Lavrentiev-regularized state constrained elliptic control problems. We extend the results of [17] and prove weak convergence of the adjoint states and multipliers of the regularized problems to their counterparts of the original problem. Further, we prove error estimates for finite element discretizations of the regularized problem and investigate the overall error imposed by the finite element discretization of the regularized problem compared to the continuous solution of the original problem. Finally we present numerical results which confirm our analytical findings.

    Stability of infinite dimensional control problems with pointwise state constraints
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Hinze, Michael; Meyer, Christian
    A general class of nonlinear infinite dimensional optimization problems is considered that covers semi-linear elliptic control problems with distributed control as well as boundary control. Moreover, pointwise inequality constraints on the control and the state are incorporated. The general optimization problem is perturbed by a certain class of perturbations, and we establish convergence of local solutions of the perturbed problems to a local solution of the unperturbed optimal control problem. These class of perturbations include finite element discretization as well as data perturbation such that the theory implies convergence of finite element approximation and stability w.r.t. noisy data.

    A goal-oriented dual-weighted adaptive finite element approach for the optimal control of a nonsmooth Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Hintermüller, Michael; Hinze, Michael; Kahle, Christian; Tobias, Keil
    This paper is concerned with the development and implementation of an adaptive solution algorithm for the optimal control of a time-discrete Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system with variable densities. The free energy density associated to the Cahn-Hilliard system incorporates the double-obstacle potential which yields an optimal control problem for a family of coupled systems in each time instant of a variational inequality of fourth order and the Navier-Stokes equation. A dual-weighted residual approach for goal-oriented adaptive finite elements is presented which is based on the concept of C-stationarity. The overall error representation depends on primal residuals weighted by approximate dual quantities and vice versa as well as various complementarity mismatch errors. Details on the numerical realization of the adaptive concept and a report on numerical tests are given.
