development thermal boundary layer

mardi 31 décembre 2013

Can anyone explain me why the thermal boundary layer develops faster for viscous fluids?



I would just say it would develop more slowly because due to high viscosities there are low reynoldsnumbers and thus less turbulence or mixing. This causes a slow homogenization of temperature (assume a cold fluid flowing over a hot plate). Since low mixing, the fluid will remain cold for a large part, and thus the thermal boundary layer is thin?
