Pratiksha A. More, Priti V. Tandel

Abstract

The present paper discusses the fingering phenomenon in the vertical direction via heterogeneous porous media. Governing equation of this phenomenon is a nonlinear second order partial differential equation. It is analysed with suitable initial condition by Reduced differential transform method (RDTM). The obtained solutions are represented numerically as well as graphically.

Keywords
