Ahatract-An analysis is made of the boundary layer flow of Reiner-Philippoff fluids. This work is an extension of a previous analysis by Hansen and Na [A. G. Hansen and T. Y. Na, Similarity solutions of laminar, incompressible boundary layer equations of non-Newtonian fluids. ASME 67-WA/FE-2 presented at the ASME Winter Annual Meeting, November (1967)], where the existence of similar solutions ...

Introduction: It has long been realized that the daytime convective boundary layer on Mars is generally much deeper than that on Earth [1]. This is fundamentally the consequence of the low density of the Martian atmosphere, coupled with the fact that the solar thermal forcing of the surface is not that much weaker than on the Earth. Simple consideration of these factors leads to a basic recogni...
