We consider the one‐dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions, with initial conditions in a small neighborhood of a state of uniform density and uniform nonzero velocity. We prove that, with a control given only by a body force localized in a subinterval, we can steer the system to uniform density and velocity. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We consider controllability of linear viscoelastic flow with a localized control in the momentum equation. We show that, for Jeffreys fluids or for Maxwell fluids with more than one relaxation mode, exact null controllability does not hold. This contrasts with known results on approximate controllability.Mathematics Subject Classification. 35Q35, 76A10, 93B05.
