Free Convection Boundary Layer Flow Over Cylinders of Elliptic Cross Section with Constant Surface Heat Flux

The steady laminar free convection boundary layer flow over horizontal cylinders of elliptic cross section when the major axis is both horizontal (blunt elliptic cylinder) and vertical (slender elliptic cylinder) subjected to a constant surface heat flux placed in an incompressible viscous fluid is...
