If a vertical wall at temperature T, is surrounded by a fluid
at temperature T, a natural convection boundary layer flow
will form. For laminar flow, the momentum equation is

to be solved, along with continuity and energy, for (u, v, T)
with appropriate boundary conditions. The quantity B is
the thermal expansion coefficient of the fluid. Use p, g, L,
and (Tw- To) to nondimensionalize this equation. Note that
there is no “stream" velocity in this type of flow.
