Outer-edge source of a viscous disk

ID: outer-edge-source-of-a-viscous-disk

A narrow surface density of a disk source approaching the outer edge from inside, with normalized to have full weight, gives and the displayed steady interior profile. This follows by replacing the inner source integral by and integrating . The flux jumps from just inside to zero outside the injecting edge. Thus a zero exterior flux is consistent, whereas a continuous zero interior boundary trace is not. A half-weight convention for a symmetric endpoint Dirac delta function represents a different total injected mass; it must not be silently mixed with the full-weight boundary source.
