Effect of rugosity on a flow governed by stationary Navier-Stokes equations. (English) Zbl 1019.76014

Summary: We study the stationary flow of fluid occupying a three-dimensional infinite horizontal domain bounded by a rough wall that is at rest, and by a plane that moves with a constant velocity. The rough wall is a plane covered with periodically distributed asperities of size \(\varepsilon\). We prove that, outside a neighbourhood of the rough region, the flow behaves asymptotically as Couette flow, as \(\varepsilon\to 0\), up to an exponentially small error.
