For a special class of outer Euler flows and solutions of the Prandtl system, the trace of the tangential derivative along the transversal axis solves a closed one dimensional equation. We give a precise description of singular solutions for this reduced problem. A stable blow-up pattern and a countable family of other unstable solutions are found. The blow-up point is ejected to infinity in finite time, and the solutions form a plateau with growing length. The proof uses modulation techniques and different energy estimates in the various zones of interest.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-17T18:23:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B44", "35Q35", "35K58", "35B40" ], "keywords": [ "dimensional unsteady prandtls system", "singularity formation", "outer euler flows", "energy estimates", "prandtl system" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
