Résumé

The paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental analysis of unsteady laminar boundary layer free convection from a horizontal surface for the asymptotic situation when leading edge effects are negligible. The theoretical analysis leads to the solution of the resulting linearized problem for arbitrary temporal variations in the surface temperature gradient. Velocity and temperature profiles are presented. Selected theoretical temperature profiles are compared with those obtained experimentally for water and glycerine.
