 Forced annular displacement equation

A distinguished annular indentation limit has ${\lambda }^{-2}=O(ϵ)$, $\lambda St=O(ϵ)$ and $Re\gg \lambda {ϵ}^{-3}$. Define $\beta =\lambda St/ϵ$, $\sigma =({\lambda }^2ϵ{)}^{-1}{\int }_0^1{u}_0^2/(R+y)dy$, ${\alpha }_1={\gamma }_0/R+{\gamma }_1/(R+1)$ and ${\alpha }_2={\gamma }_0^2/R^2-{\gamma }_1^2/(R+1{)}^2$. Radial inertia supplies the pressure difference $\sigma A_{xx}$ between the walls. The axial momentum limits and the moving-wall condition supply its derivative, giving the displayed forced KdV equation. This reduction assumes the viscous boundary layers remain thin and their displaced flux is smaller than $O({ϵ}^2)$.
