For aerospace or hypersonic cruise vehicle the state of the boundary layer is of great importance because for turbulent boundary layers, the thermal loads and skin friction are higher than in laminar boundary layers. Therefore , knowledge of cooling features and laminar-turbulent transition is necessary for the design of the thermal protection system (TPS). Different strategies are used to redu...

Explicit expressions have been derived for momentum and thermal boundary-layer thickness of the laminar, uniform stagnation flows characteristic of highly convective chemical vapor deposition pedestal reactors. Expressions for the velocity and temperature profiles within the boundary layers have also been obtained. The results indicate that, to leading order, the momentum boundary-layer thickne...

in this paper, an integration of a symbolic power series method - padé approximation technique (ps - padé), was utilized to solve a system of nonlinear differential equations arising from the similarity solution of laminar thermal boundary layer over a flat plate subjected to a convective surface boundary condition. as both boundary conditions tended to infinity, the combination of series solut...

-The problem of laminar boundary-layer flow past a flat plate is presented from the viewpoint of an engineer where the numerical results are of great interest. We compute the velocity profile in the boundary layer and other relevant physical parameters. We also compute the temperature distribution in the thermal boundary layer associated with the forced flow. We consider some algorithmic skelet...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed and forced convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear-flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of a boundary layer variable which is directly proportional to the time variable ...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of an appropriate boundary layer variable. The resulting approximation is valid both for sma...

Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...
