Abstract

In this article, we study the 2D incompressible steady Navier-Stokes equation in a channel (L,0)×(1,1)(-L,0)\times(-1,1) with the no-slip boundary condition on {Y=±1}\{Y = \pm 1\}, and consider the inviscid limit ε0\varepsilon \to 0. In the special case of Euler shear flow (ue(Y),0)(u_e(Y),0), we construct a steady Navier-Stokes solution for ε1\varepsilon \ll1, {uεue+up+O(ε),vεh(Y)exp{Xue(Y)/ε}+O(ε),\left\{ \begin{aligned} &u^\varepsilon \sim u_e + u_p + O(\sqrt{\varepsilon}),\\ &v^\varepsilon \sim h(Y) \exp\{Xu_e(Y)/\varepsilon\} + O(\sqrt{\varepsilon}), \end{aligned}\right. where upu_p represents the classical Prandtl layer profile, and h(Y)h(Y) is an arbitrary smooth, compactly-supported function with small magnitude. While the classical Prandtl boundary layer upu_p exhibits a small scale of order ε\sqrt{\varepsilon} in YY near Y=±1Y = \pm 1, the profile we construct reveals an ε\varepsilon small scale of Xue(Y)Xu_e(Y) in the vertical velocity component.
