KROGER, D.G.  and  BUYS, J.D.. Radial flow boundary layer development analysis. R&D j. (Matieland, Online) [online]. 1999, vol.15, pp.95-102. ISSN 2309-8988.

A boundary layer analysis was performed to determine the pressure differential due to frictional effects, and the heat transfer coefficient during turbulent radial fluid flow between two approximately parallel discs or surfaces. The results of the analysis were applied to flow at the inlet of the collector of a solar chimney power plant and a numerical example is presented to show the effect that various independent variables have on the radial pressure and heat transfer coefficient.
