On the control of some coupled systems of the Boussinesq kind with few controls (Q453152)

The authors consider the control of some Navier-Stokes and Bounessinesq-like system. Under some appropriate assumptions on given initail data, three results are obtained for the local exact controllability to the trajectories for such coupled system. Their results show that it is sufficient to act locally in space on the equations satisfied by temperature and concentration of a contaminant solute.
