HEAT TRANSFER FROM A SLENDER BODY OF REVOLUTION AT INCIDENCE

摘要

An analytical solution for the singular problem of two dimensional flow for the impulsively started, translating and expanding, heated circular cylinder is obtained. This solution has been related to the complex problem of heat transfer to the three dimensional steady flow over a slender body of revolution at high angle of attack. The energy equation has been solved using the method of matched asymptotic expansion to second order. The solution for the temperature field has been obtained. The effect of the expanding surface on heat transfer has been investigated. The relation between the local Nusselt number over the cylinder surface and the progress of the Nusselt number with time, which is related to the third dimension, is explored. [References: 11]
