Extract

The paper deals with the free convection flow along a vertical plate moving arbitrarily in its own plane. The basic equations of the boundary-layer flow and heat transfer are linearized and the first two approximations are considered. The first approximation is the case of steady-state free convection flow while the second approximation is the response of the fluid velocity and temperature fields to the motion of the plate for which limiting solutions are obtained by the Laplace transform technique in two regions; namely, for large times and for small times. The particular case when the plate is given an impulsive start at t = 0 is investigated in detail. It is shown how the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer at the plate respond to the motion of the plate.
