Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the inverse Stokes problem of determining a discontinuous viscosity coefficient μ\mu in a bounded domain ΩR3\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3. By analyzing the singularity of the Dirichlet Green's functions in H1H^1-norm and constructing a specifically coupled Stokes-Brinkman system in a localized domain, we prove a global uniqueness theorem that the viscosity coefficient μ\mu can be uniquely determined from boundary measurements.
