Numerical analysis of inverse problems for nonlinear combustion model

Abstract

This work is concerned with a numerical solution of inverse problems for the unsteady incompressible reactive flows. In these problems we estimate the inflow species concentrations using temperature or concentration measurements inside a burner or on the outflow boundary section. Optimal control approach reduces these problems to the minimization of the cost functionals that adequately describe the measured data. We propose numerical algorithm to solve the boundary control problems under study and discuss some computational results.
