Abstract
The natural convection thermal boundary layer adjacent to an abmptly heated inclined tlat plate is investigated through a scaling analysis and verified by numerical simulations. In general, the development of the thermal tlow can be characterized by three distinct stages, i.e. a start-up stage, a transitional stage and a steady state stage. Major scales including the tlow velocity, tlow development time, and the thermal and viscous boundary layer thicknesses are established to quantifY the tlow development at different stages and over a wide range of tlow parameters. Details of the scaling analysis and the numerical procedures are described in this paper.
