The major contributions of this study are twofold. First, we define the boundary layer solution and the convergence rate with ε^{1/2} for the multiscale asymptotic solutions in general domains. Secondly, a highly accurate computational algorithm is developed. Numerical simulations are then carried out to validate the theoretical results.
