ANALYTICAL STUDY FOR THE BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW IN THE PRESENCE OF HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH A POROUS MEDIUM

In this paper we study a problem of the boundary layer flow through a porous media in the presence of heat transfer. Here we consider high porosity bounded by a semi-infinite horizontal plate. The main aim of this study is to point out local similarity transformations for the boundary layer flow, through a homogeneous porous medium. Here we applying finite difference schemes to find out the numerical solutions of the problem. The free stream velocity and the temperature far away from the plate are exponential function of variables.
