Similar Solutions for Changing Characteristics of Natural Convection Laminar Flow around a Vertical Rectangular Inclined Plane Surface

Abstract

The study investigates laminar natural convection flow around a vertical rectangular inclined plane surface, specifically focusing on the effects of viscous and pressure stress work. Previous research primarily addressed these effects in two-dimensional natural convection flow scenarios, while this study extends the analysis to encompass three exterior situations, accounting for variations in fluid properties outside compressible boundary layers. Employing numerical methods, the study aims to predict essential flow parameters including Prandtl’s number (Pr), controlling parameter (C), and additional parameters (A, B, D, E, ∅). The investigation yields velocity profiles (F'(0), S'(0)), temperature profiles , skin frictions (F''(0), S''(0)), and heat transfer coefficients θ'(0). Numerical results are presented to illustrate the impact of different parameters on these flow characteristics. Additionally, tabulated data in Tables-2 and Tables-3 offer further insights into the predicted flow parameters and their variations under varying conditions.
