Convection laminaire forcée dans le sillage d'une plaque chaude placée dans un canal

In this Note, a numerical investigation of laminar convection wake above a heated plate placed in a channel is carried out. An analytical study based on a three region structure is proposed in the immediate neighbourhood of the trailing edge. Velocity and temperature at the centerline channel as well as the pressure gradient are presented in asymptotic expressions. Comparison of these results with numerical solutions enhances the analytical study. To cite this article: Z. Doulfoukar, A. Achiq, C. R. Mecanique 333 (2005).
