Some asymptotic problems in fluid mechanics (Q2708581)

This short review paper summarizes results of an asymptotic nature from the field of fluid mechanics. Such problems arise when a dimensionless parameter related to some physical property tends to zero in an equation, usually causing a fundamental change in the nature of the solution. Issues considered briefly are the nature of the convergence of solutions as such parameters tend to zero, and the possibility that the use of the notion of weak convergence can provide more information about issues like the occurrence of oscillations. The majority of the paper is concerned with an examination of the Navier-Stokes Euler limit.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0957.00037].
