Direct and inverse problems in fluid-solid interaction
[ Abstract ]
We consider the interaction between an elastic body and a compressible inviscid fluid, which occupies the unbounded exterior domain. The direct problem is to determine the scattered pressure field in the fluid domain as well as the displacement field in the elastic body, while the inverse problem is to reconstruct the shape of the elastic body from the far field pattern of the fluid pressure. We present a variational approach to the direct problem and two reconstruction methods for the inverse problem, which are based on nonlinear optimization and regularization.
