Abstract

In this paper we use asymptotic methods to analyse the boundary layer flow of a Newtonian fluid between concentric cylinders. The temperature distribution up to the time of thermal runaway is obtained. We give conditions for occurrence of thermal runaway.

Résumé

Nous avons appliqué dans cette étude les méthodes asymptotiques pour analyser le flux de la couche limite d'un liquide Newtonien entre deux cylindres concentriques. Nous avons obtenu la répartition de température jusqu'au moment où le circuit thermique se produit. Nous avons établi des conditions qui entraînent cette saute de température.
