We provide a detailed analysis of the boundary layers for mixed hyperbolic‐parabolic systems in one space dimension and small amplitude regimes. As an application of our results, we describe the solution of the so‐called boundary Riemann problem recovered as the zero viscosity limit of the physical viscous approximation. In particular, we tackle the so‐called doubly characteristic case, which is considerably more demanding from the technical viewpoint and occurs when the boundary is characteristic for both the mixed hyperbolic‐parabolic system and for the hyperbolic system obtained by neglecting the second‐order terms. Our analysis applies in particular to the compressible Navier‐Stokes and MHD equations in Eulerian coordinates, with both positive and null electrical resistivity. In these cases, the doubly characteristic case occurs when the velocity is close to 0. The analysis extends to nonconservative systems. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
