Abstract

We prove the existence of an obstacle lying on the bottom of an infinite channel inducing a surface on the upper bound of the fluid domain. This problem is the inverse of the free-surface problem flow which has been studied by several authors. We use the implicit function theorem to establish the existence of the solution of the problem.
