Samenvatting

In this paper it is shown that the free convection boundary layer approaches a singular character if the Prandtl number tends to zero. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to integrate the equations for this extreme case. An expression is derived for the Nusselt—Grashof relation and the results are compared with those of previous investigations which attack the problem in a different way.
