Abstract

An analysis is presented that is appropriate to three distinct phases in the temporal development of the flow past a semi-infinite vertical plate whose temperature is suddenly changed from that of the surrounding fluid. These are the initial stage when a one-dimensional solution describes the flow, then a local solution which describes the early stages of the departure from this, and finally an asymptotic solution which describes the manner in which the final steady state is achieved.
