Abstract:

We establish the mathematical validity of the Prandtl boundary layer theory for a family of (nonlinear) plane parallel flow. The convergence is proved under various Sobolev norms, including the physically important space-time uniform norm, as well as the $L^infty(H^1)$ norm. Higher-order asymptotics are also considered.
