The combined effect of a transverse magnetic field and radiative heat transfer on unsteady flow of a conducting optically thin viscoelastic fluid through a channel filled with saturated porous medium and nonuniform walls temperature has been discussed. It is assumed that the fluid has small electrical conductivity and the electromagnetic force produced is very small. Closed-form analytical solutions are constructed for the problem. The effects of the radiation and the magnetic field parameters on velocity profile and shear stress for different values of the viscoelastic parameter with the combination of the other flow parameters are illustrated graphically, and physical aspects of the problem are discussed.

Since the days of Darcy, many refinements have been made to the equations used to model single-phase fluid flow and heat transfer in a saturated porous medium, to allow for such basic things as inertial effects, boundary friction and viscous dissipation, and also additional effects such as those due to rotation or a magnetic field. These developments are reviewed.

In this paper, the physical models of the porous solar wall heating system with localized underfloor air distribution (UFAD) are established. Based on Brinkman-Forchheimer Extended Darcy and energy two-equation models for saturated porous medium, the influences of the structure of underfloor space on the heat transfer and flow characteristics of the system are simulated, analyzed and compared.The results show that the underfloor space with rational partition is good for improving the heat transfer and flow characteristics of system, and maintaining the cable system in the underfloor space.
