Using the flow governing equation approach to similarity, Weyburne (D. Weyburne, arXiv:1701.02364, 2016) recently showed that for 2-D turbulent boundary layer flows, the Prandtl Plus scalings are NOT, in general, the proper similarity…
In this paper, we consider the zero-viscosity limit of the 2D steady Navier-Stokes equations in $(0,L)\times\mathbb{R}^+$ with non-slip boundary conditions. By estimating the stream-function of the remainder, we justify the validity of the…
