Translatory accelerating motion of a circular disk in a viscous fluid

The exact solution of the equation of motion of a circular disk accelerated along its axis of symmetry due to an arbitrarily applied force in an otherwise still, incompressible, viscous fluid of infinite extent is obtained. The fluid resistance considered in this paper is the Stokes-flow drag which consists of the added mass effect, steady state drag, and the effect of the history of the motion. The solutions for the velocity and displacement of the circular disk are presented in explicit forms for the cases of constant and impulsive forcing functions. The importance of the effect of the history of the motion is discussed.Nomenclature a radius of the circular disk - b one half of the thickness of the circular disk - C dimensionless form of C ₁ - C ₁ magnitude of the constant force - D fluid drag force - f(t) externally applied force - F() dimensionaless form of applied force - F ₀ initial value of F - g gravitational acceleration - H() Heaviside step function - k magnitude of impulsive force - K dimensionless form of k - M a dimensionless parameter equals to (1+37#x03C0;_s/4_f) - S displacement of disk - t time - t ₁ time of application of impulsive force - u velocity of the disk - V dimensionless velocity - V ₀ initial velocity of V - V _t terminal velocity - parameter in (13) - parameter in (13) - (t) Dirac delta function - ratio of b/a - () function given in (5) - dynamical viscosity of the fluid - kinematic viscosity of the fluid - _f fluid density - _s mass density of the circular disk - dimensionless time - _i dimensionless form of t _i - dummy variable - dummy variable     

Unsteady convective diffusion in a rotating parallel plate channel

The paper presents an exact analysis of the dispersion of a passive contaminant in a viscous fluid flowing in a parallel plate channel driven by a uniform pressure gradient. The channel rotates about an axis perpendicular to its walls with a uniform angular velocity resulting in a secondary flow. Using a generalized dispersion model which is valid for all time, we evaluate the longitudinal dispersion coefficientsK _i (i=1, 2, ...) as functions of time. It is shown thatK ₁=0 andK ₃,K ₄, ... decay rapidly in comparison withK ₂. ButK ₂ decreases with increasing (the dimensionless rotation parameter) for values of upto approximately =2.2. ThereafterK ₂ increases with further increase in and its value gets saturated for large values of (say, 500) and does not change any further with increase in . A physical explanation of this anomalous behaviour ofK ₂ is given.

Instationäre konvektive Diffusion in einem rotierenden Parallelplattenkanal

Zusammenfassung In dieser Untersuchung wird eine exakte Analyse der Ausbreitung eines passiven Kontaminierungsstoffes in einer zähen Flüssigkeit gegeben, die, befördert durch einen gleichförmigen Druckgradienten, in einem Parallelplattenkanal strömt. Der Kanal rotiert mit gleichförmiger Winkelgeschwindigkeit um eine zu seinen Wänden senkrechte Achse, wodurch sich eine Sekundärströmung ausbildet. Unter Verwendung eines generalisierten, für alle Zeiten gültigen Dispersionsmodells werden die longitudinalen DispersionskoeffizientenK _i (i=1, 2, ...) als Funktionen der Zeit ermittelt. Es wird gezeigt, daßK ₁=0 gilt und dieK ₃,K ₄, ... gegenüberK ₂ schnell abnehmen.K ₂ nimmt ab, wenn , der dimensionslose Rotationsparameter, bis etwa zum Wert 2,2 ansteigt. Danach wächstK ₂ mit bis auf einem Endwert an, der etwa ab =500 erreicht wird. Dieses anomale Verhalten vonK ₂ findet eine physikalische Erklärung.

On the closure problem for Darcy's law

In a previous derivation of Darcy's law, the closure problem was presented in terms of an integro-differential equation for a second-order tensor.

Deformation to breaking of deep water gravity waves

The results of laboratory observations of the deformation of deep water gravity waves leading to wave breaking are reported. The specially developed visualization technique which was used is described. A preliminary analysis of the results has led to similar conclusions than recently developed theories. As a main fact, the observed wave breaking appears as the result of, first, a modulational instability which causes the local wave steepness to approach a maximum and, second, a rapidly growing instability leading directly to the breaking.List of symbols L total wave length - H total wave height - crest elevation above still water level - trough depression below still water level - wave steepness =H/L - crest steepness =/L - trough steepness =/L - F ₁ forward horizontal length from zero-upcross point (A) to wave crest - F ₂ backward horizontal length from wave crest to zero-downcross point (B) - crest front steepness =/F ₁ - crest rear steepness =/F ₂ - vertical asymmetry factor=F ₂/F ₁ (describing the wave asymmetry with respect to a vertical axis through the wave crest) - µ horizontal asymmetry factor=/H (describing the wave asymmetry with respect to a horizontal axis: SWL) - T ₀ wavemaker period - L ₀ theoretical wave length of a small amplitude sinusoïdal wave generated at T _inf0 ^sup–1 frequency - ₀ average wave height     

Flow through a helically coiled annulus

In this paper the flow is studied of an incompressible viscous fluid through a helically coiled annulus, the torsion of its centre line taken into account. It has been shown that the torsion affects the secondary flow and contributes to the azimuthal component of velocity around the centre line. The symmetry of the secondary flow streamlines in the absence of torsion, is destroyed in its presence. Some stream lines penetrate from the upper half to the lower half, and if is further increased, a complete circulation around the centre line is obtained at low values of for all Reynolds numbers for which the analysis of this paper is valid, being the ratio of the torsion of the centre line to its curvature.Nomenclature A =constant - a outer radius of the annulus - b unit binormal vector to C - C helical centre line of the pipe - D rL - g 1000 - K Dean number=Re² - L 1+r sin - M (L ²+ ² r ²)^1/2 - n unit normal vector to C - P, P pressure and nondimensional pressure - p ₀, p pressures of O(1) and O() - Re Reynolds number=aW ₀/ - (r, , s), (r, , s) coordinates and nondimensional coordinates - nonorthogonal unit vectors along the coordinate directions - r ₀ radius of the projection of C - t unit tangent vector to C - V _r, V , V _s velocity components along the nonorthogonal directions - V_r, V, V _s nondimensional velocity components along - W ₀ average velocity in a straight annulus Greek symbols , curvature and nondimensional curvature of C - U, V, W lowest order terms for small in the velocity components along the orthogonal directions t - _r, , _s first approximations to V _r , V, V _s for small - =/=/ - kinematic viscosity - density of the fluid - , torsion and nondimensional torsion of C - , stream function and nondimensional stream function - nondimensional streamfunction for U, V - a inner radius of the annulus After this paper was accepted for publication, a paper entitled On the low-Reynolds number flow in a helical pipe, by C.Y.

Reservoir transport equations by compositional approach

The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the fundamental equations governing transport phenomena in compressible reservoirs. A general mathematical model is presented for important thermo-mechanical processes operative in a reservoir. Such a formulation includes equations governing multiphase fluid (gas-water-hydrocarbon) flow, energy transport, and reservoir skeleton deformation. The model allows phase changes due to gas solubility. Furthermore, Terzaghi's concept of effective stress and stress-strain relations are incorporated into the general model. The functional relations among various model parameters which cause the nonlinearity of the system of equations are explained within the context of reservoir engineering principles. Simplified equations and appropriate boundary conditions have also been presented for various cases. It has been demonstrated that various well-known equations such as Jacob, Terzaghi, Buckley-Leverett, Richards, solute transport, black-oil, and Biot equations are simplifications of the compositional model.Notation List B reservoir thickness - B formation volume factor of phase - Cⁱ mass of component i dissolved per total volume of solution - C ⁱ mass fraction of component i in phase - C heat capacity of phase at constant volume - C_p heat capacity of phase at constant pressure - D ⁱ hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient of component i in phase - D_MTf thermal liquid diffusivity for fluid f - F = F(x, y, z, t) defines the boundary surface - f_p fractional flow of phase - g gravitational acceleration - H_p enthalpy per unit mass of phase - J_p volumetric flux of phase - k_rf relative permeability to fluid f - k₀ absolute permeability of the medium - M_p ⁱ mass of component i in phase - n porosity - N rate of accretion - P_f pressure in fluid f - p_ca capillary pressure between phases and =p-p - Rⁱ rate of mass transfer of component i from phase to phase - Rⁱ _source source rate of component i within phase - S saturation of phase - s gas solubility - T temperature - t time - U displacement vector - u velocity in the x-direction - v velocity in the y-direction - V volume of phase - V_s velocity of soil solids - W_i body force in coordinate direction i - x horizontal coordinate - z vertical coordinate Greek Letters _p volumetric coefficient of compressibility - _T volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion - _ij Kronecker delta - volumetric strain - _m thermal conductivity of the whole matrix - internal energy per unit mass of phase - gf suction head - density of phase - _ij tensor of total stresses - _ij tensor of effective stresses - volumetric content of phase - f viscosity of fluid f     

The theory of a vibrating-rod densimeter

The paper presents a theory of a device for the accurate determination of the density of fluids over a wide range of thermodynamic states. The instrument is based upon the measurement of the characteristics of the resonance of a circular section tube, or rod, performing steady, transverse oscillations in the fluid. The theory developed accounts for the fluid motion external to the rod as well as the mechanical motion of the rod and is valid over a defined range of conditions. A complete set of working equations and corrections is obtained for the instrument which, together with the limits of the validity of the theory, prescribe the parameters of a practical design capable of high accuracy.Nomenclature A, B, C, D constants in equation (60) - A _j , B _j constants in equation (18) - a _j ⁺ , a _j ^– wavenumbers given by equation (19) - C _f drag coefficient defined in equation (64) - C _f ^/0 , C _f ^/1 components of C _f in series expansion in powers of - c speed of sound - D _b drag force of fluid b - D ₀ coefficient of internal damping - E extensional modulus - force per unit length - F _j ⁺ , F _j ^– constants in equation (24) - f, g functions of defined in equations (56) - G modulus of rigidity - I second moment of area - K constant in equation (90) - k, k constants defined in equations (9) - L half-length of oscillator - Ma Mach number - m _a mass per unit length of fluid a - m _b added mass per unit length of fluid b - m _s mass per unit length of solid - n _j eigenvalue defined in equation (17) - P power (energy per cycle) - P _a , P _b power in fluids a and b - p pressure - R radius of rod or outer radius of tube - R _c radius of container - R _i inner radius of tube - r radial coordinate - T tension - T _visc temperature rise due to heat generation by viscous dissipation - t time - v _r , v radial and angular velocity components - y lateral displacement - z axial coordinate - dimensionless tension - _a dimensionless mass of fluid a - _b dimensionless added mass of fluid b - _b dimensionless drag of fluid b - dimensionless parameter associated with - ₀ dimensionless coefficient of internal damping - dimensionless half-width of resonance curve - dimensionless frequency difference defined in equation (87) - spatial resolution of amplitude - R, , , _s , increments in R, , , _s , - dimensionless amplitude of oscillation - dimensionless axial coordinate - ratio of to - _a , _b ratios of to for fluids a and b - angular coordinate - parameter arising from distortion of initially plane cross-sections - _f thermal conductivity of fluid - dimensionless parameter associated with - viscosity of fluid - _a , _b viscosity of fluids a and b - dimensionless displacement - _j jth component of - density of fluid - _a , _b density of fluids a and b - _s density of tube or rod material - density of fluid calculated on assumption that * - dimensionless radial coordinate - * dimensionless radius of container - dimensionless times - _{rr rr}, _r radial normal and shear stress components - spatial component of defined in equation (13) - _j jth component of - dimensionless streamfunction - ⁰, ¹ components of in series expansion in powers of - phase angle - _r phase difference - _ra , _rb phase difference for fluids a and b - streamfunction - _j jth component defined in equation (22) - dimensionless frequency (based on ) - _a , _b dimensionless frequency in fluids a and b - _s dimensionless frequency (based on _s ) - angular frequency - ₀ resonant frequency in absence of fluid and internal damping - _r resonant frequency in absence of internal fluid - _ra , _rb resonant frequencies in fluids a and b - dimensionless frequency - dimensionless frequency when _a vanishes - dimensionless frequencies when _a vanishes in fluids a and b - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b, _b and ₀ vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b and _b vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _b and _b vanish - dimensionless frequencies at which amplitude is half that at resonance

On the influence of transvers-curvature and density in inhomogeneous turbulent free jets

The prediction of turbulent flows based on the k- model is extended to include the influence of transverse-curvature and density on the turbulent transport mechanisms. The empirical constants involved are adjusted such that the best agreement between predictions and experimental results is obtained. Using a transformation the boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a finite difference method of Hermitian type. The extended model is applied to predict the axisymmetric jet with variable density. The results of the calculations are in agreement with measurements.

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media V: Geometrical results for two-dimensional systems

In this paper we continue the geometrical studies of computer generated two-phase systems that were presented in Part IV. In order to reduce the computational time associated with the previous three-dimensional studies, the calculations presented in this work are restricted to two dimensions. This allows us to explore more thoroughly the influence of the size of the averaging volume and to learn something about the use of anon-representative region in the determination of averaged quantities.

A three-parameter model describing the behaviour of a viscoelastic liquid in a tangential annular flow

A three-parameter model describing the shear rate-shear stress relation of viscoelastic liquids and in which each parameter has a physical significance, is applied to a tangential annular flow in order to calculate the velocity profile and the shear rate distribution. Experiments were carried out with a 5000 wppm aqueous solution of polyacrylamide and different types of rheometers. In a shear-rate range of seven decades (5 10^–3 s^–1 < < 1.2 10⁵ s^–1) a good agreement is obtained between apparent viscosities calculated with our model and those measured with three different types of rheometers, i.e. Couette rheometers, a cone-and-plate rheogoniometer and a capillary tube rheometer. a physical quantity defined by:a = {1 – ( / ₀)}/ ₀ (Pa^–1) - C constant of integration (1) - r distancer from the center (m) - r ₁,r ₂ radius of the inner and outer cylinder (m) - v _r local tangential velocity at a distancer from the center (v _r = _r r) (m s^–1) - v ₂ local tangential velocity at a distancer ₂ from the center (m s^–1) - shear rate (s^–1) - local shear rate (s^–1) - ₁ wall shear rate at the inner cylinder (s^–1) - dynamic viscosity (Pa s) - _a apparent viscosity (_a = / ) (Pa s) - _a1 apparent viscosity at the inner cylinder (Pa s) - ₀ zero-shear viscosity (Pa s) - infinite-shear viscosity (Pa s) - shear stress (Pa) - _r local shear stress at a distancer from the center (Pa) - ₀ yield stress (Pa) - ₁, ₂ wall shear-stress at the inner and outer cylinder (Pa) - _r local angular velocity (s^–1) - ₂ angular velocity of the outer cylinder (s^–1)     

Gap Estimates for Double-Well Schrödinger Operators and Quantum Stabilization of Anharmonic Crystals

The spectrum of the Schrödinger operator of a one-dimensional quantum anharmonic oscillator of mass m is studied. This spectrum consists of simple (nondegenerate) eigenvalues E _n , $$n\in {\mathbb N}_0$$ such that n ^– E _n + as n + with a certain > 1. The gap parameter =min _n (E _n – E _n-1) is in the center of the study. It is proven that this parameter is a continuous function of m; its small mass and large mass asymptotics are found. The influence of the dependence of on m on the stability of systems of interacting quantum anharmonic oscillators is briefly discussed.     

Conversion of longitudinal waves into electromagnetic radiation in a slowly varying plasma under W.K.B. approximation

This paper investigates the conversion of a dispersive longitudinal oscillation into reflected and transmitted electromagnetic radiation fields in slowly varying unmagnetized warm fluid plasmas, using W.K.B. approximations. The expressions for the power of the transmitted and reflected electromagnetic radiations, generated by electron acoustic waves, have also been obtained. It is shown that this conversion process becomes most efficient under certain conditions.

Heat transfer from laminar flow in ducts with elliptic cross-section

Summary The cooling of a hot fluid in laminar Newtonian flow through cooled elliptic tubes has been calculated theoretically. Numerical data have been computed for the two values 1.25 and 4 of the axial ratio of the elliptic cross-section . For =1.25 the influence of non-zero thermal resistance between outmost fluid layer and isothermal surroundings has also been investigated. Special attention has been given to the distribution of heat flux around the perimeter; when increases the flux varies more with the position at the circumference. This positional dependence becomes less pronounced, however, as the (position-independent) thermal resistance of the wall increases.Flattening of the conduit, while maintaining its cross-sectional area constant, improves the cooling. Comparison with rectangular pipes shows that this improvement is not as marked with elliptic as with rectangular pipes.Nomenclature A _k =A _{m, n} coefficients of expansion (6) - a, b half-axes of ellipse, b<a - a _p =a _{r, s} coefficients of representation (V) - D hydraulic diameter, = 4S/P; S = cross-sectional area, P = perimeter - D _e equivalent diameter, according to (13) - n coordinate (outward) normal to the tube wall - T temperature of fluid - T _i temperature of fluid at the inlet - T _s temperature of surroundings - v ₀ mean velocity of fluid - v _z longitudinal velocity of fluid - x, y carthesian coordinates coinciding with axes of ellipse - z coordinate in flow direction - , dimensionless half-axes of ellipse, =a/D and =b/D - _t heat transfer coefficient from fluid at bulk temperature to surroundings; equation (11) - _w heat transfer coefficient at the wall; equation (3) - axial ratio of ellipse, = a/b = / - , , , dimensionless coordinates; =x/D, =y/D, =z/D, =n/D - dimensionless temperature, = (T–T _s)/(T _i–T _s) - ₀ cup-mixing mean value of ; equation (10) - thermal conductivity of fluid - _m,n = _k eigenvalue - c volumetric heat capacity of fluid - _{m, n} = _k = _k eigenfunction; equations (6) and (I) - Nu total Nusselt number, = _t D/ - Nusselt number at large distance from the inlet - Nu _w wall Nusselt number, = _w D/, based on _w - Pé Péclet number, = ₀ Dc/

The dynamics of solid-solid phase transitions 2. Incoherent interfaces

Incoherent phase transitions are more difficult to treat than their coherent counterparts. The interface, which appears as a single surface in the deformed configuration, is represented in its undeformed state by a separate surface in each phase. This leads to a rich but detailed kinematics, one in which defects such as vacancies and dislocations are generated by the moving interface. In this paper we develop a complete theory of incoherent phase transitions in the presence of deformation and mass transport, with phase interface structured by energy and stress. The final results are a complete set of interface conditions for an evolving incoherent interface.Frequently used symbols A_i,C_i generic subsurface of S_t - B_i undeformed phase-i region - C configurational bulk stress, Eshelby tensor - F deformation gradient - G inverse deformation gradient - H relative deformation gradient - J bulk Jacobian of the deformation - ¯K, K_i total (twice the mean) curvature of and S_i - Lin (U, V) linear transformations from U into V - Lin⁺ linear transformations of ³ with positive determinant - Orth⁺ rotations of ³ - Q^a external bulk mass supply of species a - ¯S bulk Cauchy stress tensor - S bulk Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor - S_i undeformed phase i interface - U_i relative velocity of S_i - Unim⁺ linear transformations of ³ with unit determinant - ¯V, V_i normal velocity of and S_i - intrinsic edge velocity of S and A _i S - W_i volume flow across the phase-i interface - X material point - b external body force - e internal bulk configurational force - f_i external interfacial force (configurational) - ¯g external interfacial force (deformational) - grad, div spatial gradient and divergence - gradient and divergence on - h relative deformation - h^a, diffusive mass flux of species a and list of mass fluxes - ¯m outward unit normal to a spatial control volume - ¯n, n_i unit normal to and S_i - n subspace of ³ orthogonal to n - ¯q^a external interfacial mass supply of species a - s ......... - ¯v, v_i compatible velocity fields of and S_i - ¯w, w_i compatible edge velocity fields for and A_i - x spatial point - y_i deformation or motion of phase i - y^. material velocity - generic subsurfaces of - , _i deformed body and deformed phase-i region - () energy supplied to by mass transport - symmetry group of the lattice - _i, surface jacobians - lattice - () power expended on - spatial control volume - S deformed phase interface - lattice point density - interfacial power density - , A total surface stress - C configurational surface stress for phase 1 (material) - ¯C_i configurational surface stress (spatial) - F_i tangential deformation gradient - G_i inverse tangential deformation gradient - H incoherency tensor - ¯1(x), 1_i(X) inclusions of ¯n(x) and n _i (X) into ³ - K configurational surface stress for phase 2 (material) - ¯L, l_i curvature tensor of and S_i - ¯P(x), P_i(X) projections of ³ onto ¯n(x) and n_i (X) - ¯S, S deformational surface stress (spatial and material) - ¯a, a normal part of total surface stress - c normal part of configurational surface stress for phase 1 (material) - e_i internal interfacial configurational force - ¯v, v_i unit normal to and A _i - (x),_i(X) projections of ³ onto ¯n(x) and n _i (X) - _i normal internal force (material) - bulk free energy - slip velocity - _i=(–1)ⁱ _i ......... - ^a, chemical potential of species a and list of potentials - ^a, bulk molar density of species a and list of molar densities - _i normal internal force (spatial) - surface tension - , _i effective shear - referential-to-spatial transform of field - interfacial energy - grand canonical potential - l unit tensor in ³ - x, vector and tensor product in ³ - (...)^., _t(...) material and spatial time derivative - , Div material gradient and divergence - gradient and divergence on S_i - (...), (...) normal time derivative following and S_i - (...) limit of a bulk field asx ,x_i - [...],...> jump and average of a bulk field across the interface - (...)_ext extension of a surface tensor to ³ - tangential part of a vector (tensor) on and S_i     

On the effects of a periodic, spanwise variation of suction upon asymptotic suction flow

Summary The effects of superposing streamwise vorticity, periodic in the lateral direction, upon two-dimensional asymptotic suction flow are analyzed. Such vorticity, generated by prescribing a spanwise variation in the suction velocity, is known to play an important role in unstable and turbulent boundary layers. The flow induced by the variation has been obtained for a freestream velocity which (i) is steady, (ii) oscillates periodically in time, (iii) changes impulsively from rest. For the oscillatory case it is shown that a frequency can exist which maximizes the induced, unsteady wall shear stress for a given spanwise period. For steady flow the heat transfer to, or from a wall at constant temperature has also been computed.Nomenclature (x, y, z) spatial coordinates - (u, v, w) corresponding components of velocity - (, , ) corresponding components of vorticity - t time - stream function for v and w - v _w mean wall suction velocity - nondimensional amplitude of variation in wall suction velocity - characteristic wavenumber for variation in direction of z - T temperature - P pressure - density - coefficient of kinematic viscosity - coefficient of thermal diffusivity - (/v _w)² - frequency of oscillation of freestream velocity - nondimensional amplitude of freestream oscillation - /v _w ² - z z - y –v _w y/ - v _w ² t/4 - /v _w - U ₀ characteristic freestream velocity - u/U ₀ - coefficient of viscosity - _w wall shear stress - Prandtl number (/) - q heat transfer to wall - T _w wall temperature - T (T _w–T)/(T _w–)     

Mixed convection flow in narrow vertical ducts

The mixed convection flow in a vertical duct is analysed under the assumption that , the ratio of the duct width to the length over which the wall is heated, is small. It is assumed that a fully developed Poiseuille flow has already been set up in the duct before heat from the wall causes this to be changed by the action of the buoyancy forces, as measured by a buoyancy parameter . An analytical solution is derived for the case when the Reynolds numberRe, based on the duct width, is of 0 (1). This is extended to the case whenRe is 0 (^–1) by numerical integrations of the governing equations for a range of values of representing both aiding and opposing flows. The limiting cases, || 1 andR=Re of 0 (1), andR and both large, with of 0 (R ^1/3) are considered further. Finally, the free convection limit, large with R of 0 (1), is discussed.

Mischkonvektion in engen senkrechten Rohren

Zusammenfassung Mischkonvektion in einem senkrechten Rohr wird unter der Voraussetzung untersucht, daß das Verhältnis der Rohrbreite zur Länge, über welche die Wand beheizt wird, klein ist. Es wird angenommen, daß sich bereits eine voll entwickelte Poiseuille-Strömung in dem Rohr eingestellt hat, bevor Antriebskräfte, gemessen mit dem Auftriebsparameter , aufgrund der Wandbeheizung die Strömung verändern. Es wird eine analytische Lösung für den Fall erhalten, daß die mit der Rohrbreite als charakteristische Länge gebildete Reynolds-ZahlRe konstant ist. Dies wird mittels einer numerischen Integration der wichtigsten Gleichungen auf den FallRe =f (^–1) sowohl für Gleich- als auch für Gegenstrom ausgedehnt. Weiterhin werden die beiden Grenzfälle betrachtet, wenn || 1 undR=Re konstant ist, sowieR und beide groß mit proportionalR ^1/3. Schließlich wird der Grenzfall der freien Konvektion, großes mit konstantem R, diskutiert.
