M. Debruyne, A CRITICAL APPROACH TO THE METHOD OF INTE GRAL RELATIONS - THE CASE OF DORODNITSYN EQUATIONS - ACCURACY PROBLEM, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 2, Mecanique, physique, chimie, sciences de l'univers, sciences de la terre, 317(9), 1993, pp. 1149-1152
The method of integral relations (MIR) has been dealt with many studie
s between 1956 and 1985. Its computer time and memory space saving asp
ect was not sufficient to make it successful. We show, in the case of
the laminar incompressible boundary layer equations, that the simplifi
cations made by the MIR, lead to a numerical problem which is not real
ly an approximation of the continuous problem.
