TL;DR: In this article, a set of Boussinesq approximations were shown to have solutions of similarity form for combined buoyancy effects, for vertical flows adjacent to surfaces and in plumes, and the resulting equations were integrated for air and water for various practical values of the Schmidt number.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of small surface inclination on flow and transport is studied as a perturbation of flow over a horizontal surface, and the temperature distributions and heat transfer parameters were measured for the first time in such a flow, in air at atmospheric pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple formulation of the boundary value problem for a wide range of values of the Prandtl number has been proposed, and results of experiments with plumes are included to emphasize the various properties of plume flow and to indicate that the large thickness of boundary region in the range of stable laminar plumes (i.e. at relatively low local Grashof numbers) should encourage the calculation of higher order approximate of the flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation of the hydrodynamic stability of a laminar plume arising from a horizontal line source of heat was carried out using the Tollmien-Schlichting theory of small disturbances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the natural convection flow over a horizontal, isothermal and semi-infinite surface, generated by the combined buoyancy effects of surface heating and diffusion of chemical species.
