G. Polidori et al., THERMAL-BOUNDARY-LAYER BEHAVIOR IN A SHEAR-FLOW PERIODICALLY HEATED IN SPACE AT THE WALL, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 2. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 326(7), 1998, pp. 429-432
The evolution in time of a thermal boundary layer generated at the int
erface shear flow/flat plate is studied by means of an integral method
, when the plate is suddenly heated with a periodical flux density in
space. From the deduced analytical steady state solution based on the
use of a no-thickness plate hypothesis, it is shown that the thermal b
oundary layer is more influenced by spatial cooling phases than by hea
ting phases. (C) Academie des Sciences/Elsevier Paris.
