contents In 1904, Prandtl introduced his famous boundary layer in order to describe the behavior of solutions of Navier Stokes equations near a boundary as the viscosity goes to $0$. His Ansatz has later been justified for analytic data by R.E. Caflisch and M. Sammartino. In this paper, we prove that his expansion is false, up to $O(ν^{1/4})$ order terms in $L^\infty$ norm, in the case of solutions with Sobolev regularity, even in cases where the Prandlt's equation is well posed in Sobolev spaces. In addition, we also prove that monotonic boundary layer profiles, which are stable when $ν= 0$, are nonlinearly unstable when $ν> 0$, provided $ν$ is small enough, up to $O(ν^{1/4})$ terms in $L^\infty$ norm.
