Abstract

In this chapter, we describe an initial (rather ‘naive’) approach to the asymptotics of low-Mach-number flows, based mainly on consideration of the equations, and show for various cases why the initial and boundary conditions (linked to a physically realistic fluid flow problem) are very important in the framework of a consistent theory for the asymptotic modelling of low- Mach-number flows.
