A simple boundary-layer approximation formula is derived for the temperature distribution in liquid metal which flows past a porous flat plate at zero incidence at velocity U and is sucked into it at velocity V.

It is shown that the boundary layer approximation to the flow of a viscous fluid past a flat plate of length l , generally valid near the plate when the Reynolds number Re is large, fails within a distance O( lRe -3/4 ) of the trailing edge. The appropriate governing equations in this neighbourhood are the full Navier- Stokes equations. On the basis of Imai (1966) these equations are linearized with respect to a uniform shear and are then completely solved by means of a Wiener-Hopf integral equation. The solution so obtained joins smoothly on to that of the boundary layer for a flat plate upstream of the trailing edge and for a wake downstream of the trailing edge. The contribution to the drag coefficient is found to be O ( Re -3/4 ) and the multiplicative constant is explicitly worked out for the linearized equations.

In this work, we investigated the problem of the boundary layer suction on a flat plate with null incidence and without pressure gradient. There is an analytical resolution using the Bianchini approximate integral method. This approximation has been achieved by Lambert or Error functions for boundary layer profiles with uniform suction, even in the case without suction. Based on these new laws, we brought out analytical expressions of several boundary layer features. This gives a necessary data to suction effect modeling for boundary layer control. To recommend our theoretical results, we numerically studied the boundary layer suction on a porous flat plate equipped with trailing edge flap deflected to 40°. We showed that this flap moves the stagnation point on the upper surface, resulting to avoid the formation of the laminar bulb of separation. Good agreement was obtained between the new analytical laws, the numerical results (CFD Fluent), and the literature results.

Based on a simple enthalpy thickness approach, results are presented for laminar and turbulent heat transfer to a partially porous, nonisothermal flat plate. The model employed accounts for thermodynamic coupling between the boundary layer and porous wall heat transfer problems, and is expanded to include consideration of axial heat conduction along the wall. The results indicate that partial injection can be expected to produce a highly nonisothermal surface, which in turn causes the external Stanton number distribution to differ markedly from that predicted previously for assumed isothermal wall conditions. The boundary layer prediction technique is shown to be in reasonably good agreement with recent analytical and experimental results reported in the literature.
