Remarks on Boundary Layer Expansions

Eigenfunction Expansions for Second-Order Boundary Value Problems with Separated Boundary Conditions

In this paper, we investigate some properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of boundary value problems with separated boundary conditions. Also, we obtain formal series solutions for some partial differential equations associated with the second order differential equation, and study necessary and sufficient conditions for the negative and positive eigenvalues of the boundary value problem....

Some Remarks on the Flat Plate Boundary Layer*

Comparison of the Matched Asymptotic Expansions Method

Either the matched asymptotic expansions method or the two-variable technique are available for treating boundary layer problems. A comparison of the two methods is achieved on dealing with elliptic boundary value problems. The two-variable technique is proved to be slightly more powerful than the matched expansions method. Nevertheless it fails to determine a closed class of approximate soluti...

Analysis of Mixed Elliptic and Parabolic Boundary Layers with Corners

We study the asymptotic behavior at small diffusivity of the solutions, u, to a convection-diffusion equation in a rectangular domain Ω. The diffusive equation is supplemented with a Dirichlet boundary condition, which is smooth along the edges and continuous at the corners. To resolve the discrepancy, on ∂Ω, between uε and the corresponding limit solution, u, we propose asymptotic expansions o...

Asymptotic Analysis of the Boundary Layer for the Reissner–mindlin Plate Model∗

We investigate the structure of the solution of the Reissner–Mindlin plate equations in its dependence on the plate thickness in the cases of soft and hard clamped, soft and hard simply supported, and traction free boundary conditions. For the transverse displacement, rotation, and shear stress, we develop asymptotic expansions in powers of the plate thickness. These expansions are uniform up t...
