Leading edge geometry effects on natural convection from an isothermal vertical plate
Abstract
Results are presented, of an experimental investigation of the phenomenon of natural convection from an isothermal vertical plate in air, with various leading edge configurations. In addition quantitative measurements of the growth of the induced flow ahead of the leading edge were made.
