Observability and unique continuation of the adjoint of a linearized compressible fluid-structure model in a 2d channel

Our objective is to study the observability and unique continuation property of the adjoint of a linearized compressible fluid structure interaction model in a 2D channel. Concerning the structure we will consider a damped Euler-Bernoulli beam located on a portion of the boundary. In the present article we establish an observability inequality for the adjoint of the linearized fluid structure interaction problem under consideration which in principle is equivalent with the null controllability of the linearized system. As a corollary of the derived observability inequality we also obtain a unique continuation property for the adjoint problem.
