24  Flow in a Channel

Benchmarking Optimization Software with COPS Elizabeth D. Dolan and Jorge J. More ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY

24.1  Problem Formulation

Find u(t) over t in [0; 1 ] to minimize

J = 0 


subject to:

d4u
dt4
 = R*(
du
dt
*
d2u
dt2
u*
d3u
dt3


u0 = 0 
u1 = 1 
du
dt
0 = 0 
du
dt
1 = 0 
R = 10 


After some transformation we get this problem:

dx1
dt
 = x2 
dx2
dt
 = x3 
dx3
dt
 = x4 
dx4
dt
 = R*(x2*x3x1*x4
x1(0) = 0 
x1(1) = 1 
x2(0) = 0 
x2(1) = 0 


Reference: [14]

24.2  Problem setup

toms t
p = tomPhase('p', t, 0, 1, 30);
setPhase(p);

tomStates x1 x2 x3 x4

x0 = icollocate({x1 == 3*t.^2 - 2*t.^3
    x2 == 2*t - 6*t.^2
    x3 == t - 12*t
    x4 == -12});

% Boundary constraints
cbnd = {initial({x1 == 0; x2 == 0})
    final({x1 == 1; x2 == 0})};

% Various constants and expressions
R = 10;

% ODEs and path constraints
ceq = collocate({dot(x1) == x2
    dot(x2) == x3; dot(x3) == x4
    dot(x4) == R*(x2.*x3-x1.*x4)});

% Objective
objective = 1; %(feasibility problem)

24.3  Solve the problem

options = struct;
options.name = 'Flow in a Channel Steering';
solution = ezsolve(objective, {cbnd, ceq}, x0, options);

% Extract optimal states and controls from solution
t  = subs(collocate(t),solution);
x1 = subs(collocate(x1),solution);
x2 = subs(collocate(x2),solution);
x3 = subs(collocate(x3),solution);
x4 = subs(collocate(x4),solution);
Problem type appears to be: lpcon
