We study a non standard unique continuation property for the biharmonic spectral problem ${\Delta }^{2}w=-\lambda \Delta w$ in a 2D corner with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a supplementary third order boundary condition on one side of the corner. We prove that if the corner has an angle $0\<{\theta }_0\<2\pi$, ${\theta }_0\ne \pi$ and ${\theta }_0\ne 3\pi /2$, a unique continuation property holds. Approximate controllability of a 2-D linear fluid-structure problem follows from this property, with a control acting on the elastic side of a corner in a domain containing a Stokes...

The goal of this article is the study of the approximate controllability for two approximations of Navier Stokes equations with distributed controls. The method of proof combines a suitable linearization of the system with a fixed point argument. We then are led to study the approximate controllability of linear Stokes systems with potentials. We study both the case where there is no constraint on the control and the case where we search a control having one null component. In both cases,...
