Akman, Tuğba
Distributed optimal control problems with transient convection dominated diffusion convection reaction equations are considered. The problem is discretized in space by using three types of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method: symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG), nonsymmetric interior penalty Galerkin (NIPG), incomplete interior penalty Galerkin (IIPG). For time discretization, Crank-Nicolson and backward Euler methods are used. The discretize-then-optimize approach is used to obtain the finite dimensional problem. For one-dimensional unconstrained problem, Newton-Conjugate Gradient method with Armijo line-search. For two-dimensional control constrained problem, active-set method is applied. A priori error estimates are derived for full discretized optimal control problem. Numerical results for one and two-dimensional distributed optimal control problems for diffusion convection equations with boundary layers confirm the predicted orders derived by a priori error estimates.

Gradient flows are energy driven evolutionary equations such that the energy decreases along solutions. There have been surprisingly a large number of well-known partial differential equations (PDEs) which have the structure of a gradient flow in different research areas such as fluid dynamics, image processing, biology and material sciences. In this study, we focus on two systems which can be modeled by gradient flows;Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations. These equations model the phase separation in mat...
Discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods with shock-capturing for nonlinear convection dominated models
Yücel, Hamdullah; BENNER, Peter (2013-11-11)
In this paper, convection-diffusion-reaction models with nonlinear reaction mechanisms, which are typical problems of chemical systems, are studied by using the upwind symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method. The local spurious oscillations are minimized by adding an artificial viscosity diffusion term to the original equations. A discontinuity sensor is used to detect the layers where unphysical oscillations occur. Finally, the proposed method is tested on various single- and multi-component prob...
Distributed Optimal Control Problems Governed by Coupled Convection Dominated PDEs with Control Constraints
Yücel, Hamdullah (2013-08-30)
We study the numerical solution of control constrained optimal control problems governed by a system of convection diffusion equations with nonlinear reaction terms, arising from chemical processes. Control constraints are handled by using the primal-dual active set algorithm as a semi-smooth Newton method or by adding a Moreau-Yosida-type penalty function to the cost functional. An adaptive mesh refinement indicated by a posteriori error estimates is applied for both approaches.
Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin approximation of optimal control problems governed by transient convection-diffusion equations
Stoll, Martin; Yücel, Hamdullah; Benner, Peter (2018-01-01)
In this paper, we investigate a posteriori error estimates of a control-constrained optimal control problem governed by a time-dependent convection diffusion equation. The control constraints are handled by using the primal-dual active set algorithm as a semi-smooth Newton method and by adding a Moreau-Yosida-type penalty function to the cost functional. Residual-based error estimators are proposed for both approaches. The derived error estimators are used as error indicators to guide the mesh refinements. ...

Least-squares spectral element solution of steady, two-dimensional, incompressible flows are obtained by approximating velocity, pressure and vorticity variable set on GaussLobatto-Legendre nodes. Constrained Approximation Method is used for h- and p-type nonconforming interfaces of quadrilateral elements. Adaptive solutions are obtained using a posteriori error estimates based on least squares functional and spectral coefficient. Effective use of p-refinement to overcome poor mass conservation drawback of ...
