Casson fluid flow toward a vertical plate embedded in porous medium in presence of heat source/sink

Manish Raj, Abhay Jha, Anil Sharma

Abstract

Casson fluid flow through a porous medium towards a vertical plate in presence of heat generation or absorption is considered in this analysis. The governing boundary layer equations are formulated and transformed into set of ordinary differential equation using similarity transformation. Ordinary differential equations solved numerically by shooting technique with fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Solutions for the velocity and temperature were obtained for some special cases. The effect of Casson parameter, thermal Grashof number, Prandtl number on the velocity boundary layer and on the thermal boundary layer are studied and plotted.

Keywords
