Abstract

The control of the surface of water in a long canal bymeans of a wavemaker is investigated. The fluid motion is governed by the Korteweg-de Vries equation in Lagrangian coordinates.The null controllability of the elevation of the fluid surface is obtained thanks to a Carleman estimate and some weighted inequalities. The global uncontrollability is also established.

Keywords
