Self-similar analysis of the time-dependent compressible and incompressible boundary layers including heat conduction

Abstract: We investigate the incompressible and compressible heat conducting boundary layer with applying the two-dimensional self-similar Ansatz. Analytic solutions can be found for the incompressible case which can be expressed with special functions. The parameter dependencies are studied and discussed in details. In the last part of our study we present the ordinary differential equation (ODE) system which is obtained for compressible boundary layers.
