A local uniqueness result for an inverse problem to the system modelling nonhomogeneous asymmetric fluids

Original · EN

In this paper, we prove the local uniqueness of an inverse problem arising in the nonstationary flow of a nonhomogeneous incompressible asymmetric fluid in a bounded domain with smooth boundary. The direct problem is an initial-boundary value problem for a system for the velocity field, the angular velocity of rotation of the fluid particles, the mass density and the pressure distribution. The inverse problem consists in the external force recover assuming an integral measurements on the boundary. We characterize the inverse problem solutions using an operator equation of second kind, which is deduced form the application of the Helmholtz decomposition. We introduce several estimates which implies the hypothesis of the Tikhonov fixed point theorem.
