Abstract

Theoretical results are obtained for forced heat convection from a circular cylinder at low Reynolds numbers. Consideration is given to the cases of a moderate and a large Prandtl number, the analysis in each case being based upon the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Comparison between the moderate Prandtl number theory and known experimental results indicates excellent agreement; no relevant experimental work has been found for comparison with the large Prandtl number theory.
