In this paper, the boundary layer equations for steady laminar flow past a heated horizontal plate embedded in a saturated porous medium were derived by using the implicit Crank-Nicolson-Predictor-Corrector method of finite difference scheme.Abstract:
In this paper we study the boundary layer equations for steady laminar flow past a heated horizontal plate embedded in a saturated porous medium by adopting the formulation of Chandrasekhara [3], Kolar and Sastri [7]. The velocity distribution and temperature distribution are determined by using the implicit Crank-Nicolson-Predictor-Corrector method of finite difference scheme [7] and [1]. With the help of a compute the distributions are estimated at both (i+1/2)th and (i+1)th levels and they are presented in tabular form. The curves for these distributions are plotted. We calculate the shear stress and skin friction at the wall and observe that the skin-friction directly depends upon the dimensions of the plate and inversely depends upon the Reynolds numberRe. The heat flux and the Nusselt number are evaluated. Further we observe that the Nusselt number depends upon the length of the porous plate.read more

Boundary layer theory
TL;DR: The flow laws of the actual flows at high Reynolds numbers differ considerably from those of the laminar flows treated in the preceding part, denoted as turbulence as discussed by the authors, and the actual flow is very different from that of the Poiseuille flow.

On the Solution of the Laminar Boundary Layer Equations
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Pohlhausen's method agrees reasonably with the observed one up to a point about five-sevenths of the way between the pressure minimum and the observed point of separation.
