Asymptotic Stability of Steady Prandtl Equations with Suction
Abstract
Despite its physical importance, the stability of Prandtl boundary layers under wall suction remains relatively unexplored in rigorous PDE analysis. In this paper, we establish the global-in-x asymptotic stability of a suction profile. For any prescribed algebraic decay rate in x, we prove that sufficiently small inflow perturbations with sufficiently rapid spatial decay yield downstream decay at that rate. The von Mises transformation reduces the Prandtl system to a degenerate parabolic equation with a favorably directed convection term. We first identify the downstream decay mechanism in an associated uniformly parabolic problem, then control the boundary degeneracy using a sharp Hardy-type estimate. Together, these arguments yield stability and decay for the original Prandtl system.
