Abstract
We study Dirichlet boundary optimal control problems for 2D Boussinesq equations. The existence of the solution of the optimization problem is proved and an optimality system of partial differential equations is derived from which optimal controls and states may be determined. Then, we present some computational methods to get the solution of the optimality system. The iterative algorithms are given explicitly. We also prove the convergence of the gradient algorithm.
