The work in this paper is an extension of the analysis in a cited reference, where the similar problem for flow past a sphere was analyzed. The work cited and in the present paper is motivated by a groundwater velocimeter that is being designed at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here, the authors present solutions for the temperature field caused by the flow past a heated spheroid in a saturated porous medium. They consider both the case where the spheroid is held at a constant temperature, and where the flux at all points on the spheroid is held constant. Asymptotic solutions are computed for the limits of high and low Peclet number flow and compared to results from numerical calculations.
