Abstract: The aim of this paper is to reconstruct an obstacle $\omega$ immersed in a fluid governed by the Brinkman equation in a three-dimensional bounded domain $\Omega$ from internal data. We reformulate the inverse problem in an optimization one by using a least square functional. We prove the existence of an optimal solution for the optimization problem. We perform the asymptotic expansion of the cost function using a straightforward way based on a penalization technique. An important advantage of this method is that it avoids the truncation method used in the literature. Finally, we make some numerical results, exploring the efficiency of the method.
