Optimization of Steady Flows for Incompressible Viscous Fluids

An optimal-control problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes system are investigated. The maximum principle is derived by a suitable relaxation. Its sufficiency is shown provided data involved in the control problem are small enough (depending on the Reynolds number). Regularity of the Navier-Stokes system and its adjoint problem is used.
