The mixed convection flow past a horizontal plate being aligned through a small angle of attack to a uniform free stream will be considered in the limit of large Reynolds number and small Richardson number. Even a small angle of inclination of the wake is sufficient for the buoyancy force to accelerate the flow in the wake which causes a velocity overshoot in the wake. Moreover a hydrostatic pressure difference across the wake induces a correction to the potential flow which influences the inclination of the wake. Thus the wake and the correction of the potential flow have to be determined simultaneously. However, it turns out that solutions exist only if the angle of attack is sufficiently large. Solutions are computed numerically and the influence of the buoyancy on the lift coefficient is determined.

This paper studies the effect of periodical gravity modulation, or g-jitter induced magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) mixed convection flow past an inclined stretching sheet. Using appropriate non-dimensional variables, the governing partial differential equations are first transformed into non-dimensional form. The obtained non-dimensional equations are then solved numerically using Keller-box method. The features of the flow with heat transfer characteristics for different values of frequency, amplitude and magnetic parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are analyzed and discussed. The behaviour of physical quantities such as skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are also investigated. To validate the present numerical results, comparison with published results is done and found to be in a good agreement.
