Abstract

Measurements and calculations of transient mixed convection flows adjacent to a flat vertical surface are presented. The surface dissipates a constant and uniform heat flux in an air stream flowing at a uniform and constant ambient velocity. The free-stream velocity is in the same direction as the buoyancyinduced flow resulting in an 'aiding' mixed convection flow. Temperature and velocity measurements in the boundary layer are presented and compared to the results of a finite-difference analysis of the flow. Several heat flux levels and ambient stream velocities are investigated.
