Abstract

The existence and uniqueness of the analytic solutions to the nonlinear Prandtl equations with Robin boundary condition on a half space are proved, based on an application of abstract Cauchy–Kowalewski theorem. These equations arise in the inviscid limit of incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with Navier-slip boundary condition in which the slip length is square root of viscosity, as formally derived in [34].
