In this paper, the problem of unsteady mixed convection boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid near the stagnation-point on a vertical permeable plate with both cases of prescribed wall temperature and prescribed wall heat flux is investigated numerically. Here, both assisting and opposing buoyancy forces are considered and studied. The non-linear coupled partial differential equ...

The motion of the viscous, incompressible fluid through a porous medium with heat and mass transfer over a shrinking sheet is investigated. The cross-diffusion effect between temperature and concentration is considered. This phenomenon is modulated mathematically by a set of partial differential equations which govern the continuity, momentum, heat, and mass. These equations are transformed to ...

This paper pertains to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of two dimensional two phase flow in a porous medium over a stretching sheet with internal heat generation. The novelty of the present study is to consider the permeability parameter, space and temperature dependent internal heat generation along with various parameters like Froud number ,heat source/sink parameter, Grashof nu...

Knowledge about the permeability of surrounding rock (salt rock and mudstone interlayer) is an important topic, which acts as a key parameter to characterize the tightness of gas storage. The goal of experiments that test the permeability of gas storage facilities in rock salt is to develop a synthetic analogue to use as a permeability model. To address the permeability of a mudstone/salt layer...

The effectiveness of a pervious concrete pavement to transport water through it depends on the intrinsic permeability of the system. However, this characteristic is usually defined in terms of the porosity of the material. It has been observed that porosity alone is an inadequate indicator of the permeability of pervious concretes, since the permeability depends on pore sizes, geometry and conn...

The coal permeability is an important parameter in mine methane control and coal bed methane (CBM) exploitation, which determines the practicability of methane extraction. Permeability prediction in deep coal seam plays a significant role in evaluating the practicability of CBM exploitation. The coal permeability depends on the coal fractures controlled by strata stress, gas pressure, and strat...

Pulsatile flow of blood through a porous medium has been studied under the influence of periodic body acceleration by considering blood as a couple stress, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid in the presence of magnetic field. An exact solution of the equation of motion is obtained by applying the Laplace and finite Hankel transforms. The expressions for axial velocity, flow rate, flu...

The Soret–driven ferro thermoconvective instability of multi–component fluid in a porous medium heated from below and salted from above in the presence of dust particles subjected to a transverse uniform magnetic field has been analyzed using Darcy model for various values of permeability of the porous medium. The salinity effect has been contained in magnetization and density of the ferrofluid...

In this paper, the unsteady flow of non-Newtonian fluid through a porous medium when an external magnetic field is applied is investigated. The non linear equation of motion is transformed to a similarity differential equation which is solved using the method of successive approximations. The rheological effects are shown and discussed on the velocity profile in terms of rheological parameter o...
