Unsteady flow past a flat plate with suction

A solution is given for the transient response for laminar boundary layer flow past a flat plate to a step-function change in suction velocity. An arbitrary but constant suction velocity normal to the plate is allowed prior to step-change. Using the Laplace transform technique the solutions for the unsteady velocity profile and shear stress are obtained and are graphically sketched when the suction velocity doubles in the stepchange. The results show clear evidence of boundary-layer contraction when suction velocity is increased.     

Effects of chemical reaction on MHD free convection and mass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid with oscillatory plate velocity and constant heat source in a rotating frame of reference

This paper concerns with studying the steady and unsteady MHD micropolar flow and mass transfers flow with constant heat source in a rotating frame of reference in the presence chemical reaction of the first-order, taking an oscillatory plate velocity and a constant suction velocity at the plate. The plate velocity is assumed to oscillate in time with a constant frequency; it is thus assumed that the solutions of the boundary layer are the same oscillatory type. The governing dimensionless equations are solved analytically after using small perturbation approximation. The effects of the various flow parameters and thermophysical properties on the velocity and temperature fields across the boundary layer are investigated. Numerical results of velocity profiles of micropolar fluids are compared with the corresponding flow problems for a Newtonian fluid. The results show that there exists completely oscillating behavior in the velocity distribution.     

Turbulent boundary layer on a plate with transpiration: Dynamical and thermal problems

Scaling laws are established for the profiles of mean velocity and temperature, Reynolds-stress components, turbulent heat flux and mean-square temperature fluctuation, skin friction and wall heat transfer in the turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate with transpiration. In the case of blowing, the velocity and temperature distributions represented in scaling variables outside the viscous sublayer have universal forms known from experimental data for flow over an impermeable flat plate. The turbulent shearing stress and heat flux also can be represented in terms of these two functions. In the case of suction, the mean quantities are described by one-parameter families of curves. Universal skin-friction and heat-transfer laws provide a basis for representation of the skin-friction and heat-flux distributions corresponding to different Reynolds numbers and transpiration velocities in terms of universal functions of one variable. The results are obtained without invoking any special closure hypotheses. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Eine einfache Verallgemeinerung der Rayleigh-Grenzschicht

Summary A simple generalization of the theory of the compressible boundary layer near an infinite flat plate to the case with suction or blowing out is given if at the timet=0 the plate is set into motion in its own plane with velocityu _w t ⁿ. The normal velocity at the wall shall vary with time according tov _wt ^–1/2. In that case one gets similar boundary layer profiles for allt>0, which can be reduced to the profiles without suction or blowing (v _w=0) by a simple parallel displacement and stretching of the coordinates. As an example the Rayleigh boundary layer (n=0,u _w=const) is discussed.     

Similarity solutions for mixed convection boundary layer flow over a permeable horizontal flat plate

The effects of suction and injection on steady laminar mixed convection boundary layer flow over a permeable horizontal flat plate in a viscous and incompressible fluid is investigated in this paper. The similarity solutions of the governing boundary layer equations are obtained for some values of the suction and injection parameter f₀, the constant exponent n of the wall temperature as well as the mixed convection parameter λ. The resulting system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved numerically for both assisting and opposing flow regimes using a finite-difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. Numerical results for the reduced skin friction coefficient, the reduced local Nusselt number, and the velocity and temperature profiles are obtained for various values of the parameters considered. Dual solutions are found to exist for the opposing flow.     

An Exact Navier-Stokes Solution for Three-Dimensional,Spanwise-Homogeneous Boundary Layers

The plane stagnation flow onto (Hiemenz boundary layer, HBL) and the asymptotic suction boundary layer flow over a flat wall (ASBL) are two boundary layer flows for which the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are amenable to exact similarity solutions. The Hiemenz solution has been extended to swept Hiemenz flows by superposition of a third, spanwise-homogeneous sweep velocity. This solution becomes singular as the chordwise, tangential base flow component vanishes. In this limit, the homogeneous ASBL solution is valid, which however cannot describe the swept Hiemenz flow, because it does not contain any chordwise velocity. This work presents a generalized three-dimensional similarity solution which describes three-dimensional spanwise homogeneously impinging boundary layers at arbitrary wall-normal suction velocities, using a rescaled similarity coordinate. The HBL and the ASBL are shown to be two limits of this solution. Further extensions consist of oblique impingement or different boundary suction directions, such as slip or stretching walls.

A moving-wall boundary layer flow of a slightly rarefied gas free stream over a moving flat plate

In the current work, the boundary layer flow of a slightly rarefied gas free stream over a moving flat plate is presented and solved numerically. The first-order slip boundary condition is adopted in the derivation. The dimensionless velocity and shear stress profiles are plotted and discussed. A theoretical derivation of the estimated solution domain is developed, which will give a very close estimation to the exact solution domain obtained numerically. The influences of velocity slip at the wall on the velocity and shear stress are also addressed.     

A note on Hydromagnetic oscillatory flow along an infinite flat plate with variable suction

The two-dimensional, incompressible flow past an infinite plate of a weakly conducting fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is discussed when the suction velocity normal to the plate as well as the external flow velocity vary periodically with time. Expressions for the velocity and the skin-friction in the boundary layer have been obtained in a non-dimensional form.     

Free convection effects on the oscillatory flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an infinite,vertical plate with variable suction

An analysis of a two-dimensional flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid past an infinite, vertical porous plate has been carried out under the following conditions: (i) the suction velocity normal to the plate varies periodically with time (ii) the free stream velocity oscillates in time about a constant mean (iii) the temperature difference between the constant plate temperature and the free stream temperature, causing the free convection currents in the boundary layer. Approximate solutions for the transient velocity, the transient temperature, the amplitude and the phase of the skin-friction and the rate of heat transfer are derived. The fluctuating parts of the velocity profiles, the transient velocity, the transient temperature are shown on graphs whereas the numerical values of the amplitude and the phase of the skin-friction and the rate of heat transfer are entered in tables. The results are discussed in a quantitative way.     

Response of heat transfer from a moving flat plate in a parabolic flow

This paper deals with the solutions of steady as well as unsteady three-dimensional incompressible thermal boundary layer equations and the study of the response of heat transfer when there is a parabolic flow over a moving flat plate. The components of velocity in boundary layer are discussed by Sarma and Gupta and those results are used to analyse thermal boundary layer equations. A general analysis is made from which we deduce (i) Solutions of two-dimensional thermal boundary layer on a moving flat plate, (ii) Solutions of thermal boundary layer on a yawed flat plate, (iii) Solutions of thermal boundary layer when there is a parabolic flow over a moving flat plate by giving different values to β and Cx. Solutions are developed for large and small times and curves are drawn representing the variations of heat transfer from the plate with time for all the cases. The limiting time is also calculated.

Nearly parallel Blasius flow with slip

The steady boundary layer flow past a moving horizontal flat plate with a slip effect at the plate in a free stream with constant speed, slightly different from the plate speed is studied. An analytic perturbation solution of order two is obtained for the velocity. With respect to the parallel flow both the boundary layer and the inverted boundary layer characters of the flow are plotted and discussed. It is observed that under high slip, the flow becomes a nearly parallel flow with an increased speed.     

Couette flow of a stratified fluid with suction varying along a boundary

A viscous incompressible fluid between two plane boundaries is stratified by maintaining the planes at different temperatures. The upper plane moves with a uniform velocity. The suction/injection mechanism with constant injection velocity at the upper plane and suction velocity varying sinusoidally along the lower plane with a wave numberk is introduced at the boundaries. The steady linearised equations are solved using similarity variables for the velocity components. The wave numberk is shown to be effective in controlling the boundary layer thickness.     

Effect of suction/injection on free convection along a vertical plate in a nanofluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium with internal heat generation

The effect of internal heat generation on free convection along a vertical plate embedded in a nanofluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium in the presence of suction/injection is analyzed. The non-linear governing equations and their associated boundary conditions are initially cast into dimensionless forms by non-dimensional variables. The resulting equations are solved numerically by an accurate, implicit, iterative finite-difference methodology and the obtained results are compared favorably with previously published work. A parametric study is performed to illustrate influence of the temperature exponent, non-Darcy, suction/injection, Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters on the profiles of the velocity components, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction. The numerical data for the heat and nanoparticle mass transfer rates have been tabulated for various parametric conditions.

Analytical approximate solution of the cooling problem by Adomian decomposition method

The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) can provide analytical approximation or approximated solution to a rather wide class of nonlinear (and stochastic) equations without linearization, perturbation, closure approximation, or discretization methods. In the present work, ADM is employed to solve the momentum and energy equations for laminar boundary layer flow over flat plate at zero incidences with neglecting the frictional heating. A trial and error strategy has been used to obtain the constant coefficient in the approximated solution. ADM provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series. The effect of Adomian polynomial terms is considered and shows that the accuracy of results is increased with the increasing of Adomian polynomial terms. The velocity and thermal profiles on the boundary layer are calculated. Also the effect of the Prandtl number on the thermal boundary layer is obtained. Results show ADM can solve the nonlinear differential equations with negligible error compared to the exact solution.     

Flow of a viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel plates,one in uniform motion and the other at rest with uniform suction at the stationary plate

In the present paper an exact solution of the Navier-Stoke’s equations reduced to third and second order non-linear differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions is obtained. The longitudinal and transverse velocity profiles for λ=0·1, 1 and R=100 are drawn. It is noted that for large values of\(\bar x\), an adverse pressure gradient is developed which causes a back flow. There is increase in pressure even for very small fluid suction along the stationary plate. The skin friction and the flow coefficient decrease with reference to the suction velocity and the distance along the stationary plate. For λ=0, the results transform to the known results for plane couette flow without suction.     

Nonsimilar solutions for unsteady mixed convection from a moving vertical plate

An analysis is performed to obtain the nonsimilar solution of an unsteady laminar mixed convection on a continuously moving vertical plate by taking into account the effect of viscous dissipation. The unsteadiness is introduced by the time-dependent velocity of the vertical plate as well as that of the free stream. The governing boundary layer equations along with the boundary conditions are first cast into a dimensionless form by a nonsimilar transformation and the resulting system of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations is then solved by an implicit finite difference scheme in combination with the quasilinearization technique. The effects of various parameters on velocity and temperature profiles and on skin friction coefficients and heat transfer rate at the wall are reported in the present study.
