This paper deals with the unsteady free convection and mass transfer flow of micropolar fluid embedded in a porous media. The governing equations involve the fluid and micropolar velocities respectively, temperature and concentration fields. The effects of material parameters on the velocities, temperature and concentration are discussed. Perturbation method is used to obtain the solutions to t...

In the present paper, the theoretical investigation of the double-diffusive convection in a micropolar fluid layer heated and soluted from below saturating a porous medium is considered. For a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries, an exact solution is obtained. A linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been used. For the case of stationary convect...

−− The transformation group theoretic approach is applied to the system of equations governing the unsteady boundary layer flow of a micropolar fluid near the rear stagnation point of a plane surface in a porous media. The application of a two-parameter group reduces the number of independent variables by two, and consequently the system of governing partial differential equations with boundary...
