Asymptotic expansion of the Stokes solutions at small viscosity: the case of non-compatible initial data (Q396520)

Without imposing the so-called compatibility condition on the initial data, the authors obtain an asymptotic expansion of the Stokes solutions at small viscosity \(\epsilon\) as the sum of the linearized Euler solution and a corrector function, which balances the discrepancy on the boundary of the Stokes and the linearized Euler solutions. Using such an expansion and smallness of the corrector, as the viscosity \(\epsilon\) tends to zero, the authors obtain the uniform \(L^2\) convergence of the Stokes solutions to the linearized Euler solution with rate of order \(\epsilon^{1/4}\).
