Summary
This paper contains a numerical study of the development of the thermal boundary layer on an impermeable flat surface, following a step change in surface temperature, for stagnation-point flow of a micropolar fluid. A study is made of the relative effects of the individual parameters in the equations, and a comparison of certain integral parameters, representative of the flow, is used to assess the accuracy of the results.
Zusammenfassung
Diese Arbeit enthält eine numerische Untersuchung der Entwicklung der thermischen Grenzschicht auf einer undurchlässigen ebenen Oberfläche nach stufenförmigem Sprung in der Oberflächentemperatur für die Staupunktsströmung einer mikropolaren Flüssigkeit. Die relativen Auswirkungen der einzelnen Parameter in den Gleichungen werden untersucht und ein Vergleich von gewissen, für die Strömung repräsentativen integralen Parametern wird durchgeführt, um die Genauigkeit der Ergebnisse abzuschätzen.
