In this paper we study a problem of the boundary layer flow through a porous media in the presence of heat transfer. Here we consider high porosity bounded by a semi-infinite horizontal plate. The main aim of this study is to point out local similarity transformations for the boundary layer flow, through a homogeneous porous medium. Here we applying finite difference schemes to find out the numerical solutions of the problem. The free stream velocity and the temperature far away from the plate are exponential function of variables.

This paper presents an axi-symmetric laminar boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid and heat transfer towards a stretching cylinder embedded in a porous medium. The partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and heat equations are converted into highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by shooting method. It is found that the velocity decreases with increasing permeability parameter. The skin friction as well as the heat transfer rate at the surface is larger for a cylinder compared to a flat plate.

Abstract This work examines the steady two-dimensional mixed convection boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian Carreau fluid embedded in a porous medium. The impermeable wedge is at rest over which the momentum and thermal boundary layers form due to motion of Carreau fluid with a large Reynolds number. We consider local thermal non-equilibrium for which the temperature of the solid porous medium is different from that of fluid phase, and hence, a single heat-transport equation is replaced by a two-temperature model. The governed equations for flow and heat transfer are converted into a system of ordinary differential equations using a similarity approach. It is observed that local thermal non-equilibrium effects are dominant for small interphase heat transfer rate and porosity scaled conductivity parameters. It is shown that the temperature at any location of the solid porous medium is always higher than that of fluid phase. When these parameters are increased gradually the local thermal equilibrium phase is recovered at which the temperatures of the fluid and solid are identical at each pore. Similar trend is noticed for both shear-thinning and shear-thickening fluids. The results further show that heat exchange between the fluid and solid porous medium is similar to both assisted and opposed flows and Carreau fluid. The velocity and temperature fields for the various increasing fluid index, Grashof number and permeability show that the thickness of the momentum and thermal boundary layer is thinner.

Layer Flow

An axi-symmetric laminar boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid and heat transfer towards a stretching cylinder is presented. Velocity slip is considered instead of the no-slip condition at the boundary. Similarity transformations are used to convert the partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and heat equations into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by the shooting method. It is found that the velocity decreases with increasing the slip parameter. The skin friction as well as the heat transfer rate at the surface is larger for a cylinder compared to those for a flat plate.
