Based on the polynomial projections and variational discretization of the control variable, we build up the virtual element discrete scheme of the optimal control problem and derive the discrete first order optimality system. A priori error estimates for the state, adjoint state and control variables in L2 and H1 norm are derived. The theoretical findings are illustrated by the numerical experiments. %K Virtual Element Method %K Optimal Control Problem %K Brinkman Equations %K A Priori Error Estimate %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=123251
