AbstractIn the present work, the problem of Hiemenz flow through a porous medium of a incompressible non-Newtonian Rivlin-Ericksen fluid with heat transfer is presented and newly developed analytic method, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This flow impinges normal to a plane wall with heat transfer. It has been attempted to show capabilities and wide-range applications of the homotopy analysis method in comparison with the numerical method in solving this problem. Also the convergence of the obtained HAM solution is discussed explicitly. Our reports consist of the effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the Non-Newtonian fluid on both the flow and heat.

An analysis is made of the steady laminar axisymmetric stagnation point flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in a porous medium impinging on a permeable radially stretching sheet with heat generation or absorption. A uniform suction or blowing is applied normal to the plate which is maintained at a constant temperature. Similarity transformation is used to transform the governing partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. The finite difference method and generalized Thomas algorithm are used to solve the governing nonlinear momentum and energy equations. The effects of the uniform suction/blowing velocity, the stretching parameter and the heat generation/absorption coefficient on both the flow field and heat transfer are presented and discussed. The results indicate that increasing the stretching parameter or the suction/blowing velocity decreases both the velocity and thermal boundary layer thicknesses. The effect of the stretching parameter on the velocity components is more apparent for suction than blowing while its effect on the temperature and rate of heat transfer at the wall is clearer in the case of blowing than suction.

Layer Flow

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.
