Abstract

In the asymptotic solution of the title equation for simple boundary data on the rectangle 0 ≤ x ≤ l, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 the bottom corners are not passive, as has previously been supposed, but in fact generate the parabolic side layers at x = o, l. The top corners, though passive, lead to unconventional elliptic quarter-plane problems. Implications for the MHD duct problem are indicated.
