Variable Thermal Conductivity and Viscosity Flow past a Stretching Porous Surface with Viscous Dissipation through a Porous Medium

Amos W.Ogunsola, Benjamin A.Peter

2014 | Journal of Advances in Mathematics ISSN 2347-1921 | Pp. 1492-1497

In this work, we study variable thermal conductivity and viscosity flow past a porous surface with viscous dissipation through a porous medium. We transformed the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations in terms of a suit...

Numerical Solution of unsteady gravity flow of power-law fluids through a porous medium

A.W. Ogunsola, B. A. Peter

2014 | IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE) e-ISSN: 2278-0661, | Pp. 24-31

In this paper, we present a numerical study of the rheological behaviour effect of non-Newtonian, power-law fluids on the unsteady gravity flow through a porous medium. The governing equations are derived and similarity solutions are determined. The finite di...
