posted on 2016-06-01, 12:44 authored by Matthew E. Taliaferro, Matteo Angelino, Fabio Gori, Richard J. GoldsteinThe effect of a lateral discontinuity in the thermal boundary conditions in two dimensional laminar flow
on a flat plate is investigated with numerical and analytical modeling. When the thermal and momentum
boundary layers start at the same location, the resulting self-similar two dimensional boundary layer
equations were solved numerically. For flow with an unheated starting length, three dimensional numerical
simulations were required. For both the two and three dimensional thermal simulations, the Blasius
solution for a two dimensional momentum boundary layer was assumed. It is found that all the Nusselt
numbers collapse to a single curve when graphed as a function of a spanwise similarity variable. Simple
correlations for the local Nusselt number on a rectangular flat plate are presented for a variety of boundary
conditions.
