A liquid film is studied that is deposited onto a flat plate that is inclined at a constant angle to the horizontal and is extracted from a liquid bath at a constant speed. We analyse steady-state solutions of a long-wave evolution equation for the film thickness. Using centre manifold theory, we first obtain an asymptotic expansion of solutions in the bath region. The presence of an additional...

The flow and heat transfer characteristics for natural convection along an inclined plate in a saturated porous medium with an applied magnetic field have been studied. The fluid viscosity has been assumed to be an inverse function of temperature. Assuming temperature vary as a power function of distance. The transformed ordinary differential equations have solved by numerical integration using...

This paper is concerned with an investigation into the existence of waves propagating along a free edge of an orthotropic plate, where the edge is inclined at arbitrary angle to a principal direction of the material. After deriving the governing equation and edge conditions, an edge wave ansatz is substituted into this system to reduce it to a set of algebraic equations for the edge wave wave n...

Abstract--The wake flow behind a normal or an inclined plate is predicted by a discrete-vortex method. The vortex shedding phenomenon at the leading and the trailing edges is simulated by a vorticity creation technique according to the Kutta condition. This approach required that the strengths and locations of discrete vortices just shed from the edges be determined such that their presence in ...
