Abstract

It is shown that the multiplicative rule of the method of matched asymptotic expansions fails under certain conditions. The velocity distribution in front of an elliptic airfoil is given as an example. The reason for the breakdown is explained by inspecting the usual formal justification of multiplicative composition.
