Introduction The paper presents a solution of a plane flow of viscous fluid as an inverse problem for parabolic equation (heat conduction equation) with an unknown harmonic source function. This firnction is derived from a known boundary condition. Distribution of stream function Yis determined by its approximation within the whole domain by means of polyharmonic functions. Descrintion of method A plane flow of viscous fluid is governed by the following system of equations - continuity equation

These equations form a complete system with unknowns u(x,y, t), v(x,y,t) of velocity vector and an unknown of pressure function. The system of equations (l-3) is non-linear. Velocity distribution II and v is assumed at the initial time in region fi and on its boundary X? for t > 0. The system of equations (l-3) can be reduced to the system of equations with two unknowns by eliminating the pressure function. Differentiating equation (2) with respect to unknown y and equation (3) with respect to unknown x and then subtracting the sides we get

Note, that due to continuity equation (1) the fourth component of the sum in equation (4) vanishes, and all the other parentheses are a function of vorticity. The vorticity function w is defined as i (3=rotv=

Equations (7)~(9) form a system of 3 non-linear equations with unknowns u(x,y,t), v(x,y,t), w(r,y,t) The common characteristic of equations (7)-(9) is the occurrence of Laplace’s operator A as an operator of the highest order of differentiation. Acting with the help of the operator A-’ on the system of equations (7)~(9) will result in a harmonic finction of a structure HW.0

where functions (Fn(x, y),G,(x, y) }form a complete set of harmonic fbnctions. Because differential mesh was introduced, the sum (10) will be finite.

Defining an unknown function of the source H, in a parabolic equation (14) is, indeed, an inverse problem. Function H, , which is a harmonic function, will be defined for a given boundary condition for velocities u and v.

The system of equations (l)-(3) was reduced to the parabolic equation with a source function, which leads to a simple analogy with the problem of heat conduction. Temperature corresponds with a stream fiurction. A stream function difference equals the stream of fluid volume whereas heat flux corresponds with temperature difference. Aleorithm of solution of eauation (141 Replacing a derivative with respect to time in equation (14) with its corresponding forward differential quotient of a step AIwe obtain an explicit scheme with an unknown stream function H,(x, y, t - At), which is determined on the basis of a boundary condition for functions u and v (which is equivalent to the knowledge of the derivative dY / &I ). Knowing the function V on the boundary and the initial time we can now to solve equation (14). Function Y and non-linear source function Q = f(Y) (15) were determined by polyharmonic fkrctions [ 1.21. Coeffkients of function expansion \Y series according to polyharmonic functions were determined knowing the function ‘9 in the nodes inside the domain and in the boundary nodes of the domain - Fig.2 at the initial time; total number of nodes is 18 1.

Conclusions The applied method of inverse operators together with polyharmonic functions gave good results as compared with other works [3,4]. In the work the solution was approximated in the whole domain. Coefficients in finction expansions Y into a series according to polyharmonic functions were determined knowing the function Y at the initial time in 181 nodes. In work [4] the number of nodes was 900 whereas in work [3] the number was 16900.
