ON DETERMINATION OF THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF FREE CONVECTIVE HEAT EXCHANGE NEAR A FLAT VERTICAL SURFACE
O. G. Martynenko and V. N. Korovkin UDC 536.25 The results of mathematical modeling of free convective heat exchange near a semiinfinite, impermeable, flat vertical surface have been presented. The features of velocity and temperature fields as functions of the boundary conditions and the Prandtl number have been studied. Tables of numerical solutions have been given. The esults obtained have been compared to the numerical data of other authors. A. V. Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, 15 P.
