Abstract

Oleinik's \emph{no back-flow} condition ensures the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Prandtl equations in a rectangular domain RR2R\subset \mathbb{R}^2. It also allowed us to find a limit formula for Dorodnitzyn's stationary compre\-ssible boundary layer with constant total energy on a bounded convex domain in the plane R2\mathbb{R}^2. Under the same assumption, we can give an approximate solution uu for the limit formula if u< ⁣ ⁣< ⁣ ⁣<1|u|<\!\!<\!\!<1: u(z)δc[z+62512i04U23z4]+o(z5),u(z)\cong \delta * c * \left[z+\frac{6}{25}\cdot \frac{1}{2i_0} \cdot \frac{4U^2}{3}z^4\right]+o(z^5), that corresponds to an approximate horizontal velocity component when a small parameter ϵ\epsilon given by the quotient of the maximum height of the domain divided by its length tends to zero. Here, c>0c>0, δ\delta is the boundary layer's height in Dorodnitzyn's coordinates, UU is the \emph{free-stream} velocity at the upper boundary of the domain, and T0T_0 is the absolute surface temperature.
