It is based on the Taylor series expansion of all properties with respect to temperature. Two methods, one with a special manipulation to circumvent higher order equations are introduced and discussed in detail. Finally it is shown, how DNS and LES solutions, which need extremely large CPU-times, can be treated with respect to the influence of variable properties, at least approximately.en0017-931020119-1021802187ElsevierAsymptotic methodHeat transferVariable propertiesPhysicsJournal Article10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2010.12.004Journal Article
