نویسنده
چکیده
This manuscript is a survey on results related to boundary layers and the vanishing viscosity limit for incompressible flow. It is the lecture notes for a 10 hour minicourse given at the Morningside Center, Academia Sinica, Beijing, PRC from 11/28 to 12/07, 2007. The main topics covered are: a derivation of Prandtl’s boundary layer equation; an outline of the rigorous theory of Prandtl’s equation, without proofs; Kato’s criterion for the vanishing viscosity limit; the vanishing viscosity limit with Navier friction condition; rigorous boundary layer theory for the Navier friction condition and boundary layers for flows in a rotating cylinder.

The Inviscid Limit and Boundary Layers for Navier-Stokes flows
The validity of the vanishing viscosity limit, that is, whether solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations modeling viscous incompressible flows converge to solutions of the Euler equations modeling inviscid incompressible flows as viscosity approaches zero, is one of the most fundamental issues in mathematical fluid mechanics. The problem is classified into two categories: the case when the phys...
متن کاملVanishing Viscosity Limits and Boundary Layers for Circularly Symmetric 2D Flows
We continue the work of Lopes Filho, Mazzucato and Nussenzveig Lopes [9] on the vanishing viscosity limit of circularly symmetric viscous flow in a disk with rotating boundary, shown there to converge to the inviscid limit in L-norm as long as the prescribed angular velocity α(t) of the boundary has bounded total variation. Here we establish convergence in stronger L and L-Sobolev spaces, allow...
متن کاملOn the zero viscosity limit in incompressible fluids
We discuss the convergence in the limit of vanishing viscosity of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flow to solutions of the Euler equations in the presence of boundaries. We present explicit examples in 2 and 3 dimensions for which convergence holds in the energy norm, even when the flow is forced through moving boundaries. We obtain convergence rates in viscosi...
متن کاملVanishing viscosity limit for incompressible flow inside a rotating circle
In this article we consider circularly symmetric incompressible viscous flow in a disk. The boundary condition is no-slip with respect to a 4 prescribed time-dependent rotation of the boundary about the center of the disk. We prove that, if the prescribed angular velocity of the boundary 5 has finite total variation, then the Navier–Stokes solutions converge strongly in L2 to the corresponding ...
متن کاملA Discrete Kato Type Theorem on Inviscid Limit of Navier-stokes Flows
The inviscid limit of wall bounded viscous flows is one of the unanswered central questions in theoretical fluid dynamics. Here we present a result indicating the difficulty in numerical study of the problem. More precisely, we show that numerical solutions of the incompressible NavierStokes equations converge to the exact solution of the Euler equations at vanishing viscosity provided that sma...
