Linear and Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations

Well-posedness issues for the boundary layer equations

speaker: David Gérard-Varet (Université Paris 7)

abstract: The talk will be about the mathematical analysis of the Prandtl equations, involved in the description of high Reynolds number flows near a solid wall. The Cauchy problem for these equations is tricky, and turns out to be very dependent on the choice of the functional spaces. I shall report on recent progress on that problem, based on a joint work with Nader Masmoudi.
