Physical and computational aspects of convective heat transfer

This volume is concerned with the transport of thermal energy in flows of practical significance. Conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy are examined, and boundary layer equations are discussed, taking into account uncoupled flows, estimates of density fluctuations in coupled turbulent flows, equations for coupled turbulent flows, integral equations, boundary conditions, and thin-shear-layer equations. Uncoupled laminar boundary layers are considered along with uncoupled laminar duct flows, uncoupled turbulent boundary layers, uncoupled turbulent duct flows, free shear flows, buoyant flows, buoyant flows, coupled laminar boundary layers, coupled turbulent boundary layers, coupled duct flows, the finite-difference solution of boundary-layer equations, and applications of a computer program to heat-transfer problems. Attention is given to a review of numerical methods for boundary-layer equations, the solution of the energy equation for internal flows with fully developed velocity profile, and the mixing layer between two uniform streams at different temperatures.
