Abstract
Entrance effects in mixed convection between horizontal, differentially heated plates were studied in nitrogen by laser Doppler anemometry in a range 1368 < Ra < 8300 and 15 < Re < 170. Two entrance lengths were deduced from velocity profiles: one for the onset of buoyancy-driven convective instability, and one for the full development of the mixed flow. Explicit expressions for both entrance lengths are given. In addition, unsteady longitudinal...
