In a similar fashion, the integral momentum analysis method used for the turbulent hydrodynamic boundary layer in Section 3.10 can be used for the thermal boundary layer in turbulent flow. Again, the Blasius 7-power law is used for the temperature distribution. These give results that are quite similar to the experimental equations as given in Section 4.6.

The null-field method leads to a nonsingular integral equation of the first kind. However, in the framework of the surface integral equation method, the transmission boundary-value problem can be reduced to a pair of singular integral equations of the second kind [97]. These equations are formulated in terms of two surface fields which are treated as independent unknowns. In order to elucidate the difference between the null-field method and the surface integral equation method we follow the analysis of Martin and Ola [155] and review the basic boundary integral equations for the transmission boundary-value problem. We consider the vector potential Aa with density a... 

Several approximate methods exist for solving the boundary layer equations. The momentum-integral method of analysis is an important method. The principal steps of the method are listed below. 

The boundary-layer equations may be solved by the technique outlined in Appendix B or by the integral method of Chap. 5. Eckert and Hartnett [3] have developed a comprehensive set Of solutions for the transpiration-cooling problem, and we present the results of their analysis without exploring the techniques employed for solution of the equations. 

In this section we will consider again the influence of induced currents on the behavior of the quadrature component of the magnetic field on the borehole axis when the formation has a finite thickness. However, unlike the previous sections we will proceed from the results of calculations based on a solution of integral equations with respect to tangential components of the field. This method of the solution of the value of the boundary problem has been described in detail in Chapter 3. This analysis is mainly based on numerical modeling performed by L. Tabarovsky and V. Dimitriev. 

The foregoing analysis considered the fluid dynamics of a laminar-boundary-layer flow system. We shall now develop the energy equation for this system and then proceed to an integral method of solution. 

Even though the fluid motion is the result of density variations, these variations are quite small, and a satisfactory solution to the problem may be obtained by assuming incompressible flow, that is, p = constant. To effect a solution of the equation of motion, we use the integral method of analysis similar to that used in the forced-convection problem of Chap. 5. Detailed boundary-layer analyses have been presented in Refs. 13, 27, and 32. 

For the basic equations of coupled stress-flow analysis mentioned above, it is very difficult to solve them in closed-form. The transposition method of progression and integration can only be applied for problems of boundary value problems of simple geometry and boundary conditions. Therefore the finite element method (FEM) is used to solve the coupled partial differential equations in this paper. 

Singular perturbation analysis was employed to study the velocity of pulled fronts, and it was shown that the solvability integrals diverge [103, 104, 448]. Therefore we will use this method only for non-KPP kinetics. We assume 5 = 0(e), weak heterogeneities, i.e., S = as in (6.51) with a = 0(1). Equation (6.51), together with the corresponding boundary conditions, becomes...
