Compressible boundary layer for a developable surface in mixed convection flow

Abstract

Mixed conv~ctivc laminar comprc,sible boundary layer flow about a vertical dcvdopabJe surface is ,;tmlied theoretically. Modified forms of Howarth-Drodnistyn transformations are applied to avoid usual BOllssincsq approximation ill order to have the transfomled equations in almost incompressible fonns. TIle additional parameters owed to surface geometry and compressibility ,how maDYinteresting effects on velocity and temperature profiles, This sug.gc,ts that the present analysis may provide accurate predictions for boundary layer characteristics.
