Whitepaper: Optimal Control from a Fluid Dynamics Perspective
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
An optimal control problem described by the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation can be developed into a problem that can be solved by general computational fluid dynamics packages. We describe how this formulation would allow a classical problem in optimal control, Zermelo’s problem, to be treated as a multi-fluid problem. This approach has the advantage of allowing optimal navigation problems to be conducted over large areas, as well as to include moderately larger numbers of ships. We draw comparisons between this approach and the field of fluid control for fluid animations in movies.
