TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of a laminar boundary layer above a horizontal plate at intermediate Grashof (respectively Rayleigh) numbers, and its extent along the plate, was demonstrated experimentally using semi-focusing colour-Schlieren photography.

TL;DR: The concentration of solute in a film flowing down an inclined plane has been obtained by solving the complete diffusion equation, including the diffusion effect in the direction of flow as mentioned in this paper, which leads to the necessity of solving non-orthogonal characteristic value problem.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case of convective plumes in an otherwise quiescent environment for a fluid of very large Prandtl number, of importance in the heating of reservoirs of viscous fluid such as fuel oil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider some cases in which this coupling is of primary importance and show that the assumption that the temperature and flux distribution on the interface link the temperature field in the solid to the convective motion and temperature of the fluid may not be justified.

TL;DR: In this paper, free convection flows near horizontal surfaces are discussed for those cases in which a similarity solution can be obtained and the solution for the relevant velocity, temperature and pressure functions has to be carried out numerically.
