the meshless local radial point interpolation (mlrpi) method is applied to examine the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) ow of third grade uid in a porous medium. the uid saturates the porous space between the two boundaries. several limiting cases of fundamental ows can be obtained as the special cases of present analysis. the variations of pertinent parameters are addressed.

We investigate the evolution of population density vector, u = ( 1 , ? k ) -species whose diffusion is controlled by its absolute value | . More precisely, we study properties and asymptotic large time behaviour solution degenerate parabolic system i t ? ? m ? for > Under some regularity assumptions, prove that component which describes -th species with M converges to B in space two different a...

Magnetic field influence on unsteady free convection flow of a second grade fluid near an infinite vertical flat plate with ramped wall temperature embedded in a porous medium is studied. It has been observed that magnitude of velocity as well as skin friction in case of ramped temperature is quite less than the isothermal temperature. Some special cases namely: (i) second grade fluid in the ab...

Porous media like air-saturated polymer foams with open cells, have a nontrivial frequency-dependent absorption that arises due to viscous and thermal effects at the scale of the rigid frame microstructure. In order to produce multiple scattering at ultrasonic frequencies, mesoscale scatterers are introduced in the porous medium host. The effective wave number of such a multiscale medium should...

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the porous medium and diffusion-thermo effects on unsteady combined convection magneto hydrodynamics boundary layer flow of viscous electrically conducting fluid over a vertical permeable surface embedded in a high porous medium, in the presence of first order chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The slip boundary condition is applied at the p...

In this study, the steady forced convection flow and heat transfer due to an impermeable stretching surface in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid are investigated numerically. The Brinkman-Forchheimer model is used for the momentum equations (porous medium), whereas, Bongiorno's model is used for the nanofluid. Uniform temperature and nanofluid volume fraction are assumed at the surface...

Description in terms of physicochemistry and heat and mass transfer of the combustion front propagation in a reactive porous medium remains a challenge to science. The literature about this subject distinguishes two types of problems. The first considers only combustion of the gas phase inside an inert solid porous medium. In the second type, the solid phase reacts with the gas phase; Chemical ...

Evaporation from the surface of a porous medium is a complex process, governed by interplay between (1) coupled liquid and vapor flow in the porous medium, and (2) relative humidity, temperature, and aerodynamic conditions in the surrounding air. In order to avoid the computational expense of explicitly simulating liquid, gas, and heat flow in the porous medium (and the possible further expense...

pore network modeling uses a network of pores connected by throats to model the void space of a porous medium and tries to predict its various characteristics during multiphase flow of various fluids. in most cases, a non-realistic regular lattice of pores is used to model the characteristics of a porous medium. although some methodologies for extracting geologically realistic irregular network...
