In this paper, we consider a time-fractional porous medium equation in the imbibition phenomenon in a water-wet porous medium. The Homotopy analysis method, along with its stability analysis via fixed point theory, is used to solve the fractional-order porous medium equation and to study the behavior of different fractional orders on the saturation rate of the medium with the consideration of some parametric effects.

AbstractWe consider the porous medium equation with a power-like reaction term, posed on Riemannian manifolds. Under certain assumptions on p and m in (1.1), and for small enough nonnegative initial data, we prove existence of global in time solutions, provided that the Sobolev inequality holds on the manifold. Furthermore, when both the Sobolev and the Poincaré inequalities hold, similar results hold under weaker assumptions on the forcing term. By the same functional analytic methods, we investigate global existence for solutions to the porous medium equation with source term and variable density in $${{\mathbb {R}}}^n$$ R n .

We derive Harnack-type inequalities for non-negative solutions of the porous medium equation on a complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature. Along with gradient estimates, reparametrization of a geodesic and time rescaling of a solution are key tools to get the results.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze heat and mass transfer of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) non-Newtonian fluids flow past an inclined thermally stratified porous plate using a numerical approach. Design/methodology/approach The flow equations are set up with the non-linear free convective term, thermal radiation, nanofluids and Soret–Dufour effects. Thus, the non-linear partial differential equations of the flow analysis were simplified by using similarity transformation to obtain non-linear coupled equations. The set of simplified equations are solved by using the spectral homotopy analysis method (SHAM) and the spectral relaxation method (SRM). SHAM uses the approach of Chebyshev pseudospectral alongside the homotopy analysis. The SRM uses the concept of Gauss-Seidel techniques to the linear system of equations. Findings Findings revealed that a large value of the non-linear convective parameters for both temperature and concentration increases the velocity profile. A large value of the Williamson term is detected to elevate the velocity plot, whereas the Casson parameter degenerates the velocity profile. The thermal radiation was found to elevate both velocity and temperature as its value increases. The imposed magnetic field was found to slow down the fluid velocity by originating the Lorentz force. Originality/value The novelty of this paper is to explore the heat and mass transfer effects on MHD non-Newtonian fluids flow through an inclined thermally-stratified porous medium. The model is formulated in an inclined plate and embedded in a thermally-stratified porous medium which to the best of the knowledge has not been explored before in literature. Two elegance spectral numerical techniques have been used in solving the modeled equations. Both SRM and SHAM were found to be accurate.
