Mixed Convection Flow Past a Horizontal Plate: The Trailing Edge

Asymptotic analysis of the mixed convection flow past a horizontal plate near the trailing edge

The flow near the trailing edge of a horizontal heated plate which is aligned under a small angle of attack φ to the oncoming parallel flow with velocity U∞ in the limit of large Reynolds Re and large Grashof Gr = gβ∆TL3/ν2 number will be investigated (see figure 1). As usual β and ν denote the isobaric expansion coefficient and the kinematic viscosity, respectively. The difference between the ...

The interaction of the wake with the potential flow in mixed convection flow past a horizontal plate

The effect of weak buoyancy on the laminar flow of a fluid with kinematic viscosity ν, isobaric expansion coefficient β past a isothermally heated horizontal plate of length L and temperature T∞+∆T is aligned under a small angle of attack φ to the oncoming free stream (velocity U∞, temperature T∞) will be investigated in the distinguished limit of large Reynolds numbers Re with the “reduced” bu...

Empirical study of flat plate trailing edge flow and noise

This paper presents results of an empirical study on the flow and noise generated by the trailing edge of a flat plate encountering low turbulence fluid flow. Simultaneous measurements of flow and far-field noise data have been taken in an anechoic wind tunnel at the University of Adelaide. Velocity data about the trailing edge and in the wake have been measured using hot-wire anemometry. These...

Free Convection Flow past a Vertical Flat Plate Embedded in a Saturated Porous Medium

Abstract-A numerical solution for the free convection flow past a vertical semi-infinite flat plate embedded in a highly saturated porous medium by allowing the plate to have a non-uniform temperature or a non-uniform heat flux distributions has been developed. Both local heat transfer rate and excess surface temperature as a function of the distance along the plate are tabulated for a few case...
