Résumé

The lecture addresses time‑dependent convection–diffusion problems with high Péclet number in thin 3D graph‑like networks of curvilinear cylinders connected by nodes of diameter $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon).$ Inhomogeneous Robin boundary conditions with different intensity factors are imposed on the network boundary. As $\varepsilon \rightarrow 0,$ the network collapses to a graph and the diffusion terms vanish.

Such problems pose singular‑perturbation challenges that standard methods often cannot resolve. I present a systematic asymptotic framework for $\varepsilon \rightarrow 0,$ combining regular expansions on edges with node‑layer and boundary‑layer asymptotics to capture the multiscale flow structure. The analysis justifies reduced graph models, quantifies higher‑order corrections, and uncovers new phenomena in singular regimes.
