This paper first examines the mass transfer from a vertical flat surface of a soluble material due to natural convection. A perturbation term is then introduced into the stream function to model the introduction of a constant counterflow. The effect this counterflow has on both the overall mass transfer and the overall velocity profile is studied in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study deals with boundary layer flow along the entire length of a stationary semi-infinite cylinder under a steady, accelerated free-stream. Considering flow at reduced dimensions, the no-slip boundary condition is replaced with a Navier boundary condition. Asymptotic series solutions are obtained for the shear stress coefficient in terms of the Bingham number that corresponds to prescribed values of both the slip coefficient and the index of acceleration. By investigating motion at small and large axial distances, the series solutions are presented. For flow in the intermediate distances, exact and interpolated numerical solutions are obtained. Using these results, the shear stress along the entire cylinder wall is evaluated in terms of the parameters of acceleration and slip. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to determine the heat transfer from a semi-infinite microcylinder under uniform axial flow in the slip regime. Following the treatments of Glauert and Lighthill (Proc Royal Soc 230A:188-203, 1955), and Crane (Ingenieur-Archiv 43:203-214, 1974), an asymptotic series solution is developed to account for the heat flux in terms of the Nusselt number for large axial distances along a cylinder maintained at constant temperature.

This paper is concerned with uniform axial flow of a gas along a semi-infinite microcylinder in the slip regime. Following Glauert and Lighthill (Proc R Soc 230A:188–203, 1955), the effect of slip on the skin friction is investigated by employing an asymptotic series approach for large axial distances along the cylinder.

This paper traces the development of a two dimensional turbulent plume in a magnetic field from its origin, where it is virtually unaffected by the magnetic field up to its ultimate jet-like form. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
