In this paper, we consider an initial-boundary value problem for some nonlinear evolution equations with damping and diffusion. The global unique solvability is proved based on the energy method. In particular, our main purpose is to investigate the boundary layer effect and the convergence rates as the diffusion parameter $\beta$ goes to zero. We show that the boundary layer thickness is of the order $O\left(\beta^\gamma\right)$ with $0<\gamma<\frac{1}{2}$.
