The discussion centers around finding references for asymptotic matching in fluid mechanics, particularly in relation to boundary layer theory. Participants are seeking books or articles that provide comprehensive coverage of the topic, including examples and applications.
Participants have differing preferences regarding the type of resources sought, with some favoring books while others suggest articles. There is no consensus on a specific resource that meets all needs expressed in the discussion.
The discussion highlights a potential limitation in the availability of comprehensive textbooks on the subject, as participants express difficulty in finding suitable references. The focus on boundary layer theory and asymptotic matching suggests a specialized area within fluid mechanics that may not be extensively covered in general texts.
Readers interested in fluid mechanics, particularly those looking for resources on asymptotic matching and boundary layer theory, may find this discussion relevant.

arildno said:Well, have you looked after articles about multiple boundary layer theory?
From what I know, it has become rather common to develop a tripartite boundary layer with various powers of the Reynolds number as the distinguishing marks between the layers.
Evidently, asymptotic matching will be needed to weld together the local solutions.
