Abstract
Asymptotic methods provide knowledge of the relevant scales of a problem and of its underlying physical structure. In this section of the volume, three papers are presented which depend heavily on asymptotic methods and one which reviews the phenomenon of vortex breakdown by considering the order of magnitude of terms in the Navier-Stokes equations. This latter paper by Stanley Beiger, sheds light on the role viscosity has in changing the character of the equations and in decelerating the flow along its axis. The other three papers make use of asymptotic methods to study the stability boundary layers and shear layers.
