Abstract

We consider an inverse problem arising in fluid flow. An algorithm to find the shape of a body in uniform flow is proposed when the tangential velocity on its boundary is given a priori. The fluid flow is assumed to be inviscid, incompressible and irrotational.The essential idea to develop our algorithm is the boundary modification process toward the solution shape with the help of the perturbed integral equations. The perturbed integral equations are derived from the boundary perturbation. We also give examples exhibiting the reliability for our proposed algorithm.
