Recent advances on similarity solutions arising during free convection BERNARD

چکیده
This paper reviews results about free convection near a vertical flat plate embedded in some saturated porous medium. We focus on a third order autonomous differential equation that gives a special class of solutions called similarity solutions. Two cases are under consideration: in the first one we prescribe the temperature on the plate and in the second one we prescribe the heat flux on it. We will also see that the same equation appears in other industrial processes.

On a nonlinear system of PDE’s arising in free convection
In this paper, we consider a model problem introduced in [2], and derived from a coupled system of partial differential equation arising in the study of free convection about a vertical flat plate embedded in a porous medium. In [2], some existence result has been obtained under very constraining hypothesis. Here, we come back to the weak formulation of this problem, and prove that there is one...
متن کاملInsight into the Boundary Layer Flows of Free Convection and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids over a Vertical Plate using Multi-Step Differential Transformation Method
This paper presents an insight into the boundary layer of free convection and heat transfer of nanofluids over a vertical plate at very low and high Prandtl number. Suitable similarity variables are used to convert the governing systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer to systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved using multi-s...

In this paper, we study the effects of Hall and ion-slip currents on the steady magneto-micropolar of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a horizontal plate by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. By means of similarity solutions, deviation of fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic Reynolds number are solved numerically by using qu...
متن کاملOn a general similarity boundary layer equation
In this paper we are concerned with the solutions of the differential equation f ′′′+ ff ′′+g(f ′) = 0 on [0,∞), satisfying the boundary conditions f(0) = α, f ′(0) = β ≥ 0, f ′(∞) = λ, and where g is some given continuous function. This general boundary value problem includes the Falkner-Skan case, and can be applied, for example, to free or mixed convection in porous medium, or flow adjacent ...
متن کاملOn the concave and convex solutions of a mixed convection boundary layer approximation in a porous medium
In this paper we investigate the similarity solutions of a plane mixed convection boundary layer flow near a semi-vertical plate, with a prescribed power law function of the distance from the leading edge for the temperature, that is embedded in a porous medium. We show the existence and uniqueness of convex and concave solutions for positive values of the power law exponent.
