Abstract

This mini-course consists of three lectures. In the first lecture entitled Controllability of the incompressible Euler equations, we will review some results obtained by J.M. Coron and O. Glass on the controllability of the incompressible Euler equations. We will start with the case where the fluid occupies a rectangle to focus on the explanation of Coron's return method. Then we will see how to deal with more general 2D domains thanks to some tools from complex analysis. Finally, we will review some extensions by Glass to the 3D case, as well as some adaptations to close systems. In the second lecture, Controllability of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, we will tackle the controllability problem in the case of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We will start with the case where the fluid occupies a 2D boundaryless compact manifold, for which Coron and Imanuvilov succeeded to adapt the return method. Then, we will examine the case where Navier slip-with-friction boundary conditions are prescribed, for which boundary layers appear. We will see some results for weak solutions by Coron, Marbach and Sueur, and for strong solutions by Liao, Sueur and Zhang. Finally, we will see the hardest case where no-slip boundary conditions are prescribed, which corresponds to a famous open problem by J.-L. Lions dating back to 1989. For this case, we will see some partial results obtained by Coron, Liao, Marbach, Sueur and Zhang. In the third lecture entitled Lagrangian controllability: the case of a patch of fluid and of an immersed rigid body, we will consider another type of controllability, namely the Lagrangian controllability, where one aims at driving, by a remote action, a patch of fluid particles from an initial place to a final one. We will start with reviewing some results by Glass, Horsin and Kavian on the case of the incompressible Euler equations, as well as some adaptations to the case where, rather than a patch of particles, one addresses the issue to remotely drive an immersed rigid body along a given path, reviewing some results by Glass, Kolumban and Sueur.
