โฆ Synopsis
A numerical study was made to investigate the forced laminar convection in the entrance region of a square duct with one wall subjected to uniform mass transpiration and constant heat flux. Using the concept of pressure deviation and the vorticity-velocity method, the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and the governing energy equation were solved simultaneously. Results show that flow reversal occurs in the flow with strong suction. Typical velocity, pressure and temperature distributions along the flow direction are reported. Both local friction factors and Nusselt numbers in the developing and fully developed regions are examined.
The Prandtl number effect is also discussed in the present numerical analysis.

The effects of wall suction on turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer in a pipe were numerically studied using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the temperature equation. Linear and non-linear k-e or k--~ low-Re models of turbulence are used for 'closing' the governin
