Heat transfer by natural convection along a vertical flat plate was investigated semi-analytically. In natural convection, measurements of turbulent quantities near the wall are usually difficult as a result of strong temperature fluctuations. On the other hand, a number of attempts to describe turbulent heat transfer have been made and reliable data were presented. Therefore, in this study, a penetration model was introduced and natural-convection heat transfer was considered in relation to its turbulent structure.
