Non-Darcian Mixed Convection Flow in Vertical Composite Channels with Hybrid Boundary Conditions
Authors
Abstract:
In this article, the effects of viscous dissipation and inertial force on the velocity and temperature distributions of the mixed convection laminar flow in a vertical channel partly filled with a saturated porous medium have been studied. In this regard, the Brinkman–Forchheimer extended Darcy model was adopted for the fluid flow in the porous region. In addition, three different viscous dissipation models with isoflux-isothermal boundary conditions were applied. To determine the velocity and temperature distributions for both the regions, the coupled non-linear governing equations were solved using two parameter perturbation and numerical methods. Moreover, the results of the numerical method were validated against those predicted by the perturbation method for small values of the dimensionless perturbation parameters. Furthermore, the results obtained for both regions were compared in terms of Grashof, Reynolds, Forchheimer, and Brinkman numbers. The predicted results clearly indicate that the type of viscous dissipation model has a significant effect on the temperature and velocity distributions.

Mixed Convection Boundary Layer Flow over a Moving Vertical Flat Plate in an External Fluid Flow with Viscous Dissipation Effect
The steady boundary layer flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid over a moving vertical flat plate in an external moving fluid with viscous dissipation is theoretically investigated. Using appropriate similarity variables, the governing system of partial differential equations is transformed into a system of ordinary (similarity) differential equations, which is then solved numerically usin...

The effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the MHD mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. The velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. Thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

Abstract—A theoretical study has been presented to describe the boundary layer flow and heat transfer on an exponentially shrinking sheet with a variable wall temperature and suction, in the presence of magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically using th...
