Abstract
An integral method has been developed for laminar free convection under non-uniform gravity. In addition to a characteristic velocity and the viscous boundary layer thickness, the method takes the ratio of the viscous boundary layer to the thermal boundary layer as another unknown so as to characterize the interactions between viscous and thermal diffusion processes.
