Heat Transfer From a Small Isothermal Spanwise Strip on an Insulated Boundary

Abstract

Detailed analysis of heat transfer of an isothermal spanwise strip in a uniform shear field is presented. Solutions for the leading edge and the trailing edge are obtained by method of relaxation. These solutions are exact in that the streamwise heat conduction term, in the differential equation of energy, is not neglected. The results are compared with the Le´veˆque similarity solution, and the ranges where the solution is valid are defined. A similarity solution for the trailing wake is also presented.
