contents The evolution of two incompressible, immiscible, isothermal fluids in a bounded domain and a porous media is described by the coupled Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman (CHB) system. The CHB system consists of the Cahn-Hilliard equation describing the dynamics of the relative concentration of fluids and the Brinkman equation for velocity. This work addresses the optimal control problem for a two-dimensional nonlocal CHB system with a singular-type potential. The existence and regularity results are obtained by approximating the singular potential by a sequence of regular potentials and introducing a sequence of mobility terms to resolve the blow-up due to the singularity of the potential. Further, we prove the existence of a strong solution under higher regularity assumptions on the initial data and the uniqueness of the solution using the weak-strong uniqueness technique. By considering the external forcing term in the velocity equation as a control, we prove the existence of an optimal control for a tracking type cost functional. The differentiability properties of the control-to-state operator are studied to establish the first-order necessary optimality conditions. Moreover, the optimal control is characterised in terms of the adjoint variable.
