Abstract:
Unsteady free convection boundary layer flow over a heated plate with different
inclinations have been studied numerically. The governing equations are then made
dimension1css by_using usual similarity transformations. The dimensionless equations are
solved numerically by appl}ing Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique along
with Runge-Kulla sixth order integration method.
Two cases of the motion of the flow have been considered; one is the impulsive motion
and the other is the unifonnly acce1crated motion _The plate temperature is assumed (0
be a function of time. The dimensionless ~elocity, temperature and pressure profiles aTe
shown graphically for different values of the parameters entering into the problem -
The numerical values of the local skin-friction and local Nussell number are also
presented in tabular fOnTI.
Finite difference analysis of natural convection flow over an inclined heated plate have
been studied numerically. We have studied the natural convection flow over an inclined
flat plate by employing implicit finite-difference method of Crank-Nicolson method. The
transient ,-elocity and temperature prollles are displayed graphically and discussed
thereafter. The stability and convergence of the implicit finite-difference scheme are
established as well. The software fORTRAN 90 is used to perform computational job
and the post processing software MS Excel has been used to display the numerical results
graphically.
