We use a new method of Bloch wave homogenization which, unlike the classical homogenization method, characterizes a renormalized limit of the spectrum, namely sequences of eigenvalues of the order of the square of the medium period. We prove that such a renormalized limit spectrum is made of two parts: the so-called Bloch spectrum, which is explicitly defined as the spectrum of a family of limit problems, and the so-called boundary layer spectrum, which is made of limit eigenvalues corresponding to sequences of eigenvectors concentrating on the boundary of the domain. This analysis relies also on a notion of Bloch measures which can be seen as ad hoc Wigner measures in the context of semi-classical analysis. Finally, for rectangular domains made of entire periodicity cells, a variant of the Bloch wave homogenization method gives an explicit characterization of the boundary layer spectrum too
We study the following inverse problem: an inaccessible rigid body D is immersed in a viscous fluid, in such a way that D plays the role of an obstacle around which the fluid is flowing in a greater bounded domain , and we wish to determine D (i.e., its form and location) via boundary measurement on the boundary ∂. Both for the stationary and the evolution problem, we show that under reasonable smoothness assumptions on and D, one can identify D via the measurement of the velocity of the fluid and the Cauchy forces on some part of the boundary ∂. We also show that the dependence of the Cauchy forces on deformations of D is analytic, and give some stability results for the inverse problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
