A global nonlinear stability analysis is performed for a couple-stress fluid layer heated from below saturating a porous medium with temperature-pressure dependent viscosity for different conducting boundary systems. Here, the global nonlinear stability threshold for convection is exactly the same as the linear instability boundary. This optimal result is important because it shows that lineari...

Magnetic field influence on unsteady free convection flow of a second grade fluid near an infinite vertical flat plate with ramped wall temperature embedded in a porous medium is studied. It has been observed that magnitude of velocity as well as skin friction in case of ramped temperature is quite less than the isothermal temperature. Some special cases namely: (i) second grade fluid in the ab...

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the porous medium and diffusion-thermo effects on unsteady combined convection magneto hydrodynamics boundary layer flow of viscous electrically conducting fluid over a vertical permeable surface embedded in a high porous medium, in the presence of first order chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The slip boundary condition is applied at the p...

This paper examines the MHD convection slip fluid flow with radiation and heat deposition in a channel in a porous medium. The dimensionless governing equations were solved using the perturbation technique to obtained the analytical expressions of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles of the fluid with expression of Skin friction, mass and heat transfer in terms of Shear stress, Nuss...

In this paper, the effect of magnetic field on double-diffusive convection in couple-stress fluid saturating a porous medium is considered. By applying linear stability theory and normal mode analysis method, a necessary condition is derived which states that the viscoelastic double-diffusive convection at marginal state, cannot manifest as stationary convection if the thermal Rayleigh number R...

Simulating flow of a Bingham fluid in porous media still remains a challenging task as the yield stress may significantly alter the numerical stability and precision. We present a Lattice-Boltzmann TRT scheme that allows the resolution of this type of flow in stochastically reconstructed porous media. LB methods have an intrinsic error associated to the boundary conditions. Depending on the sch...

The effect of heat transfer on peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluid through a porous medium in a two dimensional flexible channel was studied under long wave length approximation. A Closed form of expressions is derived in terms of wall slope parameter for axial velocity, temperature and heat transfer coefficient using perturbation method.
