✦ Synopsis

We consider a class of parabolic partial differential equations with nonlocal diffusion coefficient. The study is motivated by a model of turbulent viscosity for a developed flow in a duct between parallel walls. Under rather more general conditions, we use a rescaling in t to prove existence and well-posedness for weak solutions. Sharp comparison estimates enable us to bound from below the spatial derivative at the wall. The steady state problem is also nonstandard and we show local stability by a spectral continuation argument. Finally numerical results for the steady state solution are compared with available experimental data. ᮊ 1997

We continue the study of the one-dimensional model for the vorticity equation considered in [4]. The partial differential equation u,, + uuXy = u,uy + vuyrr is deduced, which appears as a generalization of the Burgers' equation, with possibly some connection also to the K dV equation.

An asymptotic model of isothermal catalyst is obtained from a well-known model of porous catalyst for appropriate, realistic limiting values of some nondimensional parameters. In this limit, the original model is a singularly perturbed m-D reaction diffusion system. The asymptotic model consists of
