Unsteady heat transfer on boundary layer growth at the forward stagnation point
Abstract
The effect of heat transfer process on the flow of a compressible viscous fluid, impulsively started to move from rest, in the vicinity of forward stagnation point of an infinite plane wall is investigated. The study utilizes an alternative combination of an expansion method into power series of small time and a very efficient numerical method employing the difference-differential method. Special attention is given to the transient phenomena from the initial flow to the final steady-state distribution. Numerical results are given for the velocity and temperature profiles as well as for the skin-friction and rate of heat transfer coefficients.
