Abstract

In this paper we consider optimal control of nonlinear time-dependent fluid structure interactions. To determine a time-dependent control variable a BFGS algorithm is used, whereby gradient information is computed via a dual problem. To solve the resulting ill conditioned linear problems occurring in every time step of state and dual equation, we develop a highly efficient monolithic solver that is based on an approximated Newton scheme for the primal equation and a preconditioned Richardson iteration for the dual problem. The performance of the presented algorithms is tested for one 2d and one 3d example numerically.
