Flow regulation for water quality restoration in a river section: Modeling and control

This work is devoted to the numerical resolution of an optimal control problem that arises in the management of a reservoir for the remediation of a polluted river section. By using mathematical modeling and optimal control techniques we set the mathematical formulation of the problem (as a hyperbolic optimal control problem with control constraints), and obtain a fully discretized problem. Finally, we propose a gradient-free method to solve it, and present realistic numerical results.
