- Using limited observations of the velocity field of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, we successfully reconstruct the steady body force that drives the flow. The number of observed data points is less than 10\% of the number of modes that describes the full flow field, indicating that the method introduced here is capable of identifying complicated forcing mechanisms from a relatively small collection of observations. In addition to demonstrating the efficacy of this method on turbulent flow data generated by simulations of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, we also rigorously justify convergence of the derived algorithm. Beyond the practical applicability of such an algorithm, the reliance of this method on the dynamical evolution of the system yields physical insight into the turbulent cascade.
