On the analogy between the transport of vorticity and heat in laminar boundary layers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 March 2006
Abstract
The analogy between the transport of heat and vorticity when the Prandtl number is unity is used to provide a simple complementary solution of the boundary-layer energy equation for plane flow. The solution is extended to apply to axisymmetric boundary layers by suitably stretching the co-ordinate normal to the wall. Several applications of the solution are discussed.
