Abstract
The laminar natural convection flow along a rectangular comer formed by the intersection of two vertical quarter-infinite flat plates with uniform surface heat flux is considered. For large Grashof numbers, the leading-order corner-layer equations which govern the behaviour of laminar natural convection flow near the comer are derived and the appropriate boundary conditions are determined by using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Solutions of the equations are numerically obtained for Prandtl numbers of 0.733 and 6.7. The general flow patterns and temperature distributions are similar to those with uniform wall temperature conditions except temperature profiles near the corner.
