Abstract
Scalings for the thicknesses of the thermal and velocity boundary layers, the plate temperature, and the maximum vertical velocity in a homogeneous Pr > 1 fluid are validated against numerical results for unsteady natural convection boundary-layer flow on an evenly heated vertical plate. Results have been obtained for Rayleigh number and Prandtl number and the scaling relations are shown to provide a good description of the flow for both the initial conduction dominated, one-dimensional, unsteady phase and the fully developed convection dominated, two-dimensional, steady phase of the flow. Scaling constants have been obtained for all relations.
