Rsr. Gorla et al., UNSTEADY NATURAL-CONVECTION FROM A HEATED VERTICAL PLATE IN MICROPOLAR FLUID, Numerical heat transfer. Part A, Applications, 28(2), 1995, pp. 253-262
An analysis is presented for the unsteady natural convection from a he
ated semi-infinite vertical plate placed in a micropolar fluid in the
presence of internal heat generation or absorption. Numerical solution
s of the unsteady boundary layer equations have been obtained at any s
tation along the vertical plate using the finite difference method. De
tails of the velocity and temperature fields are presented for various
values of time.
