Some Remarks on the Flat Plate Boundary Layer*

The boundary layer on a finite flat plate

The problem of finding the flow over a finite flat plate aligned with a uniform free stream is revisited. Multigrid is used to obtain accurate numerical solutions up to a Reynolds number of 4000. Fourier boundary conditions keep the computational domain small, with no loss of accuracy. Near the trailing edge, excellent agreement with first-order triple-deck theory is found. However, previous co...

Analytical Solution of The Laminar Boundary Layer Flow over Semi-Infinite Flat Plate: Variable Surface Temperature

In this paper, the problem of forced convection over a horizontal flat plate under condition of variable plate temperature is presented and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This paper provides good supplements to the existing literature and generalizes the previ...

Lagrangian analysis of the laminar flat plate boundary layer

1 The flow properties at the leading edge of a flat plate represent a singularity to the Blasius laminar boundary layer equations; by applying the Lagrangian approach the leading edge velocity profiles of the laminar boundary layer over a flat plate are studied. Experimental observations as well as the theoretical analysis show an exact Gaussian distribution curve as the original starting profi...
