Consequently, in this case the vanishing viscosity problem is to show that the
solution u
to (6.1)–(6.3) satisfies u
.t/ ! u

as ! 0. The following is the key
to the analysis of the solution u
.
Proposition 6.1. Given that u
0
has the form (6.11), the solution u
to (6.1)–(6.3)
(with F
0) is circularly symmetric for each t>0,oftheform

with boundary condition (6.2) and initial condition (6.3).
Proof. Let u
solve (6.16), (6.2), and (6.3), with u
0
as in (6.11). We claim (6.15)
holds. In fact, for each unit vector ! 2 R

with the same initial data and boundary conditions as u
, so these functions must
coincide, and (6.15) follows. Hence div u

Hence this u
is the solution to (6.1)–(6.3).
To restate matters, for D D, the solution to (6.1)–(6.3) is in this case simply
