본 연구에서는 Raju등의 연구의 확장으로 일정한 온도로 유지되는 경사진 평 판에 대하여 혼합대류 전 영역에 유효한 부력계수(.xi.)로서 (1+Gr$^{2}$$_{x}$cos.gamma./ Re$^{4}$$_{x}$)$_{-1}$를 적용하여 비상사 경계층 방정식을 유도하였다. 또한 적분 형 경계조건을 가진 편미분 경계층방정식을 유한차분법으로 Keller와 Cebeci의 Box scheme을 6차로 적용하여 수치해석하였다. 부력계수가 큰 영역에서 Mucoglu등의 해 석적 연구결과는 일정한 온도와 45˚의 경사를 유지하는 평판에 대한 Ramachandran의 실험적 연구결과와 약 10%정도 벗어난다. 이에 Ramachandran의 실험적 연구를 해석 적으로 재고찰하였다.하였다.
An analysis of laminar mixed convection flow adjacent to the inclined flat surface which is subjected to a uniform temperature in a uniform free stream is performed. Nonsimilar boundary layed equation are derived by using the mixed convection parameters such that smooth transition from the purely forced convection limit to the purely free convection limit is possible. The governing equations are solved by a finite difference method using the coupled box scheme of sixth order. Numerical results are presented for prandtl numbers of 0.7 and 7 with the angle of inclination ranging from 0 to 90 degree from the vertical. The velocity distributions for the buoyancy assisting flow exhibit a significant overshoot above the free stream value in the region of intense mixed convection and the velocity field is found to be more sensitive to the buoyancy effect than the temperature field. The separation point near the wall was obtained for the buoyancy opposing flow. The local Nusselt number increases for buoyancy assisting flow and decreases for opposing flow with increasing value of the local Grashoff number in the mixed convection parameter. For large Prandtl number, the Nusselt number and the friction factor decrease significantly near the separation point. Present numerical predictions are in good agreement with recent experimental results by Ramachandran.
