This paper deals with the sliding mode control (SMC) of the forced generalized Burgers equation via the Karhunen-Loève (K-L) Galerkin method. The decomposition procedure of the K-L method is presented to illustrate the use of this method in analysing the numerical simulations data which represent the solutions of the forced generalized Burgers equation for viscosity ranging from 1 to 100. The K-L Galerkin projection is used as a model reduction technique for non-linear systems to derive a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that mimics the dynamics of the forced generalized Burgers equation. The data coefficients derived from the ODE system are then used to approximate the solutions of the forced Burgers equation. Finally, static and dynamic SMC schemes with the objective of enhancing the stability of the forced generalized Burgers equation are proposed. Simulations of the controlled system are given to illustrate the developed theory.

Keywords: distributed control; generalized Burgers equation; Karhunen-Loéve decomposition.
