In this paper, we present a numerical study of the rheological behaviour effect of non-Newtonian, power-law fluids on the unsteady gravity flow through a porous medium. The governing equations are derived and similarity solutions are determined. The finite di...

The flow of a fluid of grade three between heated parallel plates is examined. It is assumed that the fluid is temperature-dependent and reacts satisfying Arrhenius law. We employed Galerkin weighted residual method to solve the resulting non-linear equations...
2014 | International Journal of Advancements in Research & Technology ISSN 2278-7763 | Pp. 121-129
In this work, effects of slip at the boundary on the mixed convective boundary layer flow over a flat plate through a porous medium is considered. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary differential equations in terms of s...
2014 | International Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences and Technology ISSN 2229 - 6107 | Pp. 1-8
In this work, effects of variable viscosity and Arrhenius reaction on the third grade fluid over a radiative surface through a porous medium isconsidered. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary differential equations in te...

In this work, we studied the effect of thermal radiation on unsteady gravity flow of a power-law fluid with viscous dissipation through a porous medium. The modified Darcy’s law is considered together with the equation of energy transfer in such media. It i...
