Abstract: We are concerned with the asymptotics and perturbation analysis of a singular second-order nonlinear ODE that models capillary rise of a fluid inside a narrow vertical tube. We prove the convergence of the exact solution to a unperturbed solution when a nondimensional parameter decrease to zero. Furthermore, we provide an accurate method of approximating the asymptotic solution for large times. Due to the a fact that the nonlinear component in the main equation does not satisfy the Lipschitz continuity condition the methods used to prove the main theorems are nonstandard, require careful analysis, and can be useful in dealing with similar nonlinear ODEs.

Review text

In the paper under review, the authors prove that the exact solution of the equation \[ u (s) + \frac{1}{\sqrt{\omega}}\, u' (s) + \sqrt{2u(s)} = 1 \tag{1} \] with the initial conditions \[ u(0)=0, \; u'(0)=0 \] converges uniformly as \(\epsilon=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\omega}}\to 0^+\), where \(\omega\) is a single nondimensional parameter (see Theorem 1). In fact, this equation models the capillary rise process in a narrow vertical tube. Furthermore, the authors provide a new method for analysing the long-time behaviour of the solution of the above equation in the oscillatory regime (Section 3).
