Abstract

A numerical solution is presented for the flow of a uniform stream past a semi-infinite heated flat plate at whose surface the heat flux remains constant. The buoyancy forces oppose the free-stream motion and separation occurs. An examination of the singularities in the skin-friction and heat-transfer coefficients suggests, rather surprisingly, a behaviour as (ξs−ξ)⅗ at separation.
