Introduction to the problem • Asymptotic analysis • Applications
Two steps: • construct downstream asymptotics • dynamical system • invariant manifold theory • renormalization group • universality • determines asymptotics everywhere

Work in progress: • d=2 case with lift (numerical) • d=2 second order asymptotics (theory) • d=3 (numerical) • d=2, 3: free fall problem (numerical) • d=3 case with rotation at infinity (theory; see P. Galdi • (2005) for recent results) • Other research groups: • d=2 time periodic (theory)
