Thermal response of a periodic boundary layer near an axisymmetric stagnation point on a circular cylinder

Boundary layer solutions are provided to study the time-mean heat transfer characteristics in a laminar flow in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point. The velocity of the oncoming flow is assumed to oscillate relative to the body. Different solutions are constructed for the small and high values of the reduced frequency parameter. Numerical solutions for the temperature functions are presented, and the wall values of the thermal gradients are tabulated.
