Abstract

Considering the boundary layer problem in the case of two-dimensional flow past a wedge with the wedge angle φ=π2mm+1\varphi=\pi\frac{2m}{m+1}, Oleinik and Samokhin obtained the local well-posedness results for m1m \geq 1. In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the Prandtl systems for arbitrary m>0m>0, which solves the steady case in Open problem 6 proposed by Oleinik and Samokhin. Our proof is based on the maximum principle technique at the Crocco coordinates and the most important observation that when the fluid approaches a sharp point, it seems the self-similar solutions. Then we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution with the help of the self-similar solutions by the Line Method. Furthermore, we similarly establish the well-posedness results of three-dimensional flow past a cone.
