This talk will focus on the numerical solution of unsteady optimal control problems governed by a system of convection diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs) with nonlinear reaction terms arising from chemical processes. Such problems are strongly coupled as inaccuracies in one unknown directly affect all other unknowns. Prediction of these unknowns is very important for the safe and economical operation of biochemical and chemical engineering processes. Further, the solutions of these PDEs can exhibit layers on small regions where the solution has large gradients, when convection dominates diffusion. To avoid spurious oscillations emerging from the layers, we use adaptive mesh refinement. The symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method with upwinding for the convection term is used for space discretization, whereas backward Euler is used for time discretization. Residual-based error estimators are used for the state, the adjoint and the control variables. The arising saddle point system is solved using a suitable preconditioner. Numerical examples are presented for convection dominated problems to illustrate the effectiveness of the adaptivity.

A discontinuous Galerkin method for optimal control problems governed by a system of convection-diffusion PDEs with nonlinear reaction terms Yücel, Hamdullah; BENNER, Peter (2015-11-01) In this paper, we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems governed by a system of convection-diffusion PDEs with nonlinear reaction terms, arising from chemical processes. The symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method with upwinding for the convection term is used as a discretization method. We use a residual-based error estimator for the state and the adjoint variables. An adaptive mesh refinement indicated by a posteriori error estimates is applied. The arising saddle point system...
The dual reciprocity boundary element solution of helmholtz-type equations in fluid dynamics Alsoy Akgün, Nagehan; Tezer Sezgin, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2013) In this thesis, the two-dimensional, unsteady, laminar and incompressible fluid flow problems governed by partial differential equations are solved by using dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). First, the governing equations are transformed to the inhomogeneous modified Helmholtz equations, and then the fundamental solution of modified Helmholtz equation is used for obtaining boundary element method (BEM) formulation. Thus, all the terms in the equation except the modified Helmholtz operator ar...
STREAMLINE UPWIND/PETROV GALERKIN SOLUTION OF OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS GOVERNED BY TIME DEPENDENT DIFFUSION-CONVECTION-REACTION EQUATIONS Akman, T.; Karasözen, Bülent; Kanar-Seymen, Z. (2017-01-01) The streamline upwind/Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) finite element method is studied for distributed optimal control problems governed by unsteady diffusion-convection-reaction equations with control constraints. We derive stability and convergence estimates for fully-discrete state, adjoint and control and discuss the choice of the stabilization parameter by applying backward Euler method in time. We show that by balancing the error terms in the convection dominated regime, optimal convergence rates can be obtain...
The differential quadrature solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations using several time-integration schemes Meral, Gulnihal; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-04-01) Three different time-integration schemes, namely the finite difference method (FDM) with a relaxation parameter, the least-squares method (LSM) and the finite element method (FEM), are applied to the differential quadrature (DQM) solution of one-dimensional nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations. In the solution procedure, the space derivatives are discretized using DQM, which may also be used without the need of boundary conditions. The aim of the paper is to find computationally more efficient ti...
An Asymptotic-Numerical Hybrid Method for Solving Singularly Perturbed Linear Delay Differential Equations Cengizci, Süleyman (Hindawi Limited, 2017) In thiswork, approximations to the solutions of singularly perturbed second-order linear delay differential equations are studied. We firstly use two-term Taylor series expansion for the delayed convection term and obtain a singularly perturbed ordinary differential equation (ODE). Later, an efficient and simple asymptotic method so called Successive Complementary Expansion Method (SCEM) is employed to obtain a uniformly valid approximation to this corresponding singularly perturbed ODE. As the final step, ...
