Determining the viscosity from the boundary information for incompressible fluid
Abstract
For the Stokes equations in a compact connected Riemannian -manifold with smooth boundary , we give an equivalent new system of elliptic equations with independent unknown functions on . We show that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated with this new system is also equivalent to the original Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated with the Stokes equations. We explicitly give the full symbol expression for the by a method of factorization, and prove that Dirichlet-to-Neumann map (or equivalently, ) uniquely determines viscosity and all tangential and normal derivatives of on . In particular, combining this result, Lai-Uhlmann-Wang's theorem and Heck-Li-Wang's theorem, we completely solve a long-standing open problem that asks whether one can determine the viscosity for the Stokes equations and for the Navier-Stokes equations by boundary measurements on an arbitrary bounded domain in , ().
