Résumé

A finite-difference solution using line iterative method is presented for the fully developed combined free and forced laminar convection in uniformly heated horizontal tubes. A boundary vorticity method is developed for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equation with biharmonic function. One of the objectives of this investigation is to bridge the gap between the perturbation solution for very small parameter (ReRa) and the boundary layer approximation for very large parameter. Graphical results for flow and heat transfer are presented for representative Prandtl numbers with comparison made against the available results in the literature.
