Abstract
Numerical modeling of Prandtl equations was undertaken in order to investigate into the effect of mainstream acceleration on characteristics of dynamic and thermal boundary layers. Unlike in dynamic boundary layer, nondimensional characteristics of thermal boundary layer proved to be rather conservative to the action of the favorable pressure gradient. It was found that, unlike the skin-friction coefficient and the momentum-thickness Reynolds number, the Stanton number and the energy-thickness Reynolds number both exhibit no saturation with increasing the Kays acceleration parameter. Also, an analysis of the violation of Reynolds analogy by the stream acceleration is given.
