We study the following inverse problem: an inaccessible rigid body D is immersed in a viscous fluid, in such a way that D plays the role of an obstacle around which the fluid is flowing in a greater bounded domain Ω, and we wish to determine D (i.e., its form and location) via boundary measurement on the boundary ∂Ω. Both for the stationary and the evolution problem, we show that under reasonable smoothness assumptions on Ω and D, one can identify D via the measurement of the velocity of the…
