Abstract: | Steady, two-dimensional, symmetric, laminar and incompressible flow past parabolic bodies in a uniform stream with constant
heat flux is investigated numerically. The full Navier–Stokes and energy equations in parabolic coordinates with stream function,
vorticity and temperature as dependent variables were solved. These equations were solved using a second order accurate finite
difference scheme on a non-uniform grid. The leading edge region was part of the solution domain. Wide range of Reynolds number
(based on the nose radius of curvature) was covered for different values of Prandtl number. The flow past a semi-infinite
flat plate was obtained when Reynolds number is set equal to zero. Results are presented for pressure and temperature distributions.
Also local and average skin friction and Nusselt number distributions are presented. The effect of both Reynolds number and
Prandtl number on the local and average Nusselt number is also presented.
