Abstract
We consider the steady Navier-Stokes system with mixed boundary conditions, in subdomains of a holdall domain. We study, via the penalization method, its approximation properties. Error estimates, obtained using the extension operator, other evaluations and the uniqueness of the solution, when the viscosity may be arbitrarily small in certain subdomains, are also discussed. Numerical tests, including topological optimization applications, are presented. A general convergence result for the approximation of this type of geometric inverse problems and of the associated optimal control problems, is investigated in the last part of the paper.
