Abstract
Our aim in this article is to study the existence and regularity of solutions of a quasilinear elliptic-hyperbolic equation. This equation appears in the design of blade cascade profiles. This leads to an inverse problem for designing two-dimensional channels with prescribed velocity distributions along channel walls. The governing equation is obtained by transformation of the physical domain to the plane defined by the streamlines and the potential lines of fluid. We establish an existence and regularity result of solutions for a more general framework which includes our physical problem as a specific example.
