This book is an introduction to the stability analysis of noncharacteristic boundary layers, emphasizing selected topics and developing mathematical tools relevant to the study of multidimensional problems. Boundary layers are present in problems from physics, engineering, mechanics, and fluid mechanics and typically appear for problems with small diffusion. Boundary layers also occur in free boundary value problems, particularly in the analysis of shock waves.This monograph is a...
More DescriptionThis book is an introduction to the stability analysis of noncharacteristic boundary layers, emphasizing selected topics and developing mathematical tools relevant to the study of multidimensional problems. Boundary layers are present in problems from physics, engineering, mechanics, and fluid mechanics and typically appear for problems with small diffusion. Boundary layers also occur in free boundary value problems, particularly in the analysis of shock waves.This monograph is a valuable text for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering and will be a useful supplement for the study of mathematical models in the applied sciences. Prerequisites for the reader include standard courses in analysis, integration theory, and PDEs.
