This is a comparison of calculations performed with a scheme for handling streamwise-periodic boundary conditions with known solutions to the common problem of fully developed heat transfer in a plane duct. Constant value, constant flux, mixed boundary conditions, and linear wall flux (conjugate heat transfer) are all considered. Agreement is, in every case, near exact showing that the methodology may be applied with confidence to complex engineering problems with a variety of thermal wall boundary conditions.

Direct Attack

Since every plane-harmonic function is associated with a conjugate, problems in which normal gradients are specified on the boundary can be transformed into problems in which boundary values are specified. There then remains, however, the problem of deducing a function ψ from its conjugate ϕ, and this, when the conjugate has been determined only approximately, entails uncertainties which were exemplified in Part V. To minimize the errors of approximate computation ψ and ϕ should be determined severally and independently, consequently a method of direct attack is still needed on problems in which normal gradients are specified. Recent applications have, moreover, presented cases in which the boundary conditions are ‘mixed’, i.e. values are specified at some parts of the boundary, gradients at others. Here, two methods are propounded for the satisfaction of mixed boundary conditions, the first applicable also to cases in which normal gradients alone are specified. Test examples indicate that the wanted extension of method is now available.

Biharmonic Problems

Relaxation methods have already been applied to the solution of four problems of (i) extension and (ii) flexure of flat elastic plates, in which ( a ) displacement or ( b ) traction is specified at the boundary. Here the method is adapted to the case in which the two types of boundary condition are mixed, where photo-elastic methods are difficult to apply. Two examples are treated by relaxation methods, and the results obtained indicate that this method may be a valuable alternative in engineering problems.
