These different flow conditions subsequently lead to 12 possible ways of classifying changes in the thermal development of flow. Central to the concept is the proposed universally applicable description of thermal undevelopment of flow. The refined classification is shown to better describe several practical cases encountered in heat transfer applications, as well as in fluid flow near a changing boundary.
