T1 Three-Dimensional Free Convection Flow and Heat Transfer Past a Vertical Channel JF International Journal of Fluid Mechanics Research JO FMR YR 2006 FD 2006-08-28 VO 33 IS 4 SP 320 OP 333 AB An analysis is made on the three dimensional flow of viscous incompressible fluid past a vertical channel in the presence of a uniform injection on the right plate and the left plate to a periodic suction velocity distribution. The velocity and temperature field have been derived using perturbation technique. It is found that the primary velocity increases near the left plate and decreases near the right plate with increase in Reynolds number while it increases with increase in Grashof number. It is seen that the shear stress due to main flow increases with increase in either Grashof number or Reynolds number but decreases with increase in Prandtl number. Also the magnitude of the shear stress due to cross flow increases with increase in Reynolds number. It is seen that the temperature profile decreases with increase in either Prandtl number or Reynolds number. The rate of heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number has also been studied.
