Integral Solutions Notes MC

The document discusses integral solutions to boundary layer equations. It begins by stating that scaling analysis does not provide local or average values of shear stress and heat transfer coefficients. It then presents the integral boundary layer equations for momentum and thermal energy balance. The equations are integrated from the boundary (y=0) to the edge of the boundary layer (Y) and rearranged to obtain integral equations relating shear stress, heat transfer coefficient, and velocity and temperature profiles. The resulting equations express the boundary conditions in terms of integral quantities.

Integral Solutions

Scaling analysis does not provide details on the local values of  and h (for a specific x) and
the average values of  0 L and h0 L ;

Where,
1 1
L L
 0 L   dx ; h0 L  hdx

In the integral approach, we focus on the actual definition of

u 1 T
  and h   k
y y 0
T y y 0

So, we are interested in the variation of u and T close to the boundary. This can be accomplished
by integrating each term of the boundary layer equation from y=0 to y=Y,

where Y> max (  , T ) is situated in the free stream.
