Boundary conditions

We have three length scales: tex2html_wrap_inline2901 , tex2html_wrap_inline2903 and tex2html_wrap_inline2905 are also problem parameters. Thus any solution, heta transfer or fluid mechanics (i.e. Nu, tex2html_wrap_inline2907 , tex2html_wrap_inline2583 , tex2html_wrap_inline2911 , tex2html_wrap_inline2913 , tex2html_wrap_inline2915 ) are all function of the above dimensionless parameters. for example

In the above problem we considered only one velocity scale tex2html_wrap_inline2917 and one time scale tex2html_wrap_inline2919 .In order problem multiple velocity and time scale may appear. Example 1. two velocity scales or one velocity scale and one angle of attack. Example 2: two time scales.
