Abstract
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Volume 84, Issue 4, Page 1658-1667, August 2024. Abstract. In this paper, the classical problem of two-dimensional flow in a cylindrical domain, driven by a nonuniform tangential velocity imposed at the boundary, is reconsidered in straightforward manner. When the boundary velocity is a pure rotation [math] plus a small perturbation [math] and when the Reynolds number based on [math] is large (Re [math]), this flow is of “Prandtl–Batchelor” type, namely, a flow of uniform vorticity [math] in a core region inside a viscous boundary layer of thickness O(Re)[math]. The O[math] contribution to [math] is determined here by asymptotic analysis up to O[math]. The result is in good agreement with numerical computation for Re [math].
