Our work is motivated by the analysis of ash plume dynamics, arising in the study of volcanic eruptions. Such phenomena are characterized by large Reynolds number (exceeding $10^7$) and a large number of polydispersed particles~[1]. Thus,…
We consider the Stokes system in the half-space with localized boundary data. We prove that a boundary layer separation point exists provided that a certain singular integral determined by the boundary data is negative. On the other hand,…
