Stabilization of a fluid-solid system, by the deformation of the self-propelled solid. Part II: The nonlinear system

Original · EN

In this second part we prove that the full nonlinear fluid-solid system introduced in Part I is stabilizable by deformations of the solid that have to satisfy nonlinear constraints. Some of these constraints are physical and guarantee the self-propelled nature of the solid. The proof is based on the boundary feedback stabilization of the linearized system. From this boundary feedback operator we construct a deformation of the solid which satisfies the aforementioned constraints and which stabilizes the nonlinear system. The proof is made by a fixed point method.
