Synopsis

Consider solutions 〈H(x, ε), G(x, ε)〉 of the von Kármán equations for the swirling flow between two rotating coaxial disks

and

We also assume that |H(x, ε)|≦B√(ε) while |G(x, ε)|≦B. This work considers the shapes and asymptotic behaviour as ε→0+. We consider the kind of limit functions that are permissible. The only possible limits (interior) for G(x, ε) are constants. If that limit constant is not zero, then ε−½H(x, ε) will also tend to a constant.
