The specific problem we consider here is inspired by recent advances in the control of nonlinear distributed parameter systems and its possible applications to hydrodynamics . The main objective is to investigate the extent to which the 3 -dimensional Navier -Stokes system can be regularized using a particular , physically motivated , feedback control law . The specific choice of feedback mechanism is motivated by a work of O .A . Ladyzhenskaya [7] in which she introduces a modification of the Navier -Stokes equation on a three dimensional bounded domain and shows that the resulting perturbed system possesses global dynamics and , furthermore , this dynamics is stable . It is in this sense that we understand the system to be regularized . |
