We consider some singularly perturbed ODEs and PDEs that correspond to the mean first passage time T until a diffusion process exits a domain fl in !Rn. We analyze the limit of small diffusion relative to convection, and assume that in a part of fl the convection field takes the process toward the exit boundary. In the remaining part the flow does not hit the exit boundary, instead taking the process toward a stable equilibrium point inside fl. Thus fl is divided into a part where the diffusion is with the flow and a complementary part where the diffusion is against the flow. We study such first passage problems asymptotically and, in particular, determine how T changes as we go between the two parts of the domain. We shall show that the mean first passage time may be exponentially large even in the part of fl that is with the flow, and where a typical sample path of the process hits the exit boundary on much shorter time scales.
