Description
We investigate reversal and recirculation for the stationary Prandtl equations. Reversal describes the solution after the Goldstein singularity, and is characterized by regions in which $u > 0$ and $u < 0$ respectively. The classical point of view of regarding the stationary Prandtl system as an evolution equation in $x$ completely breaks down since $u$ changes sign.
Instead, we view the problem as a quasilinear, mixed-type, free-boundary problem. This is a joint work with Sameer Iyer.
