Popis: We consider the global approximate controllability of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes system driven by a physically localized and degenerate force. In other words, the fluid is regulated via four scalar controls that depend only on time and appear as coefficients in an effectively constructed driving force supported in a given subdomain. Our idea consists of squeezing low mode controls into a small region, essentially by tracking their actions along the characteristic curves of a linearized vorticity equation. In this way, through explicit constructions and by connecting Coron's return method with recent concepts from geometric control, the original problem for the nonlinear Navier-Stokes system is reduced to one for a linear transport equation steered by a global force. This article can be viewed as an attempt to tackle a well-known open problem due to Agrachev.
