It follows that the outer expansion of the leading-order boundary layer solution is<br />

U0(X) ∼ 4 tan<br />

<br />

e −4 sin2 (θ0/4) e −X<br />

as X → ∞.<br />

Rewriting this expansion in terms of the original variables, u ∼ εU0, r = 1 − εX,<br />

we get<br />

<br />

θ0<br />

u(r, ε) ∼ 4ε tan e<br />

−4 sin2 (θ0/4) −1/ε r/ε<br />

The inner expansion as r → 1− of the leading order intermediate solution in<br />

(4.11) is<br />

<br />

u(r, ε) ∼ λ<br />

2π er/ε .<br />

These solutions match if<br />

Thus, we conclude that<br />

λ = 4 tan<br />

u(0, ε) ∼ 4 tan<br />
