Abstract

In this paper, we prove a controllabilityresult for a fluid-structure interaction problem. In dimension two,a rigid structure moves into an incompressible fluid governed byNavier-Stokes equations. The control acts on a fixed subset of thefluid domain. We prove that, for small initial data, this system isnull controllable, that is, for a given T > 0, the system can bedriven at rest and the structure to its reference configuration attime T. To show this result, we first consider a linearizedsystem. Thanks to an observability inequality obtained from aCarleman inequality, we prove an optimal controllability result witha regular control. Next, with the help of Kakutani's fixed pointtheorem and a regularity result, we pass to the nonlinear problem.
