Wall laws for fluid flows at a boundary with random roughness

The general concern of this paper is the effect of rough boundaries on fluids. We consider a stationary flow, governed by incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, in an infinite domain bounded by two horizontal rough plates. The roughness is modeled by a spatially homogeneous random field, with characteristic size $\eps$. A mathematical analysis of the flow for small $\eps$ is performed. The Navier's wall law is rigorously deduced from this analysis.

Remarks on Boundary Layer Expansions

A systematic mathematical methodology for derivation of boundary layer expansions is presented. An explicit calculation of boundary layer sizes is given and proved to be coordinates system independent. It relies on asymptotic properties of symbols of operators. Several examples, including the quasigeostrophic model, are discussed.
