Abstract

In this work, effects of slip at the boundary on the mixed convective boundary layer flow over a flat plate through a porous medium is considered. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary differential equations in terms of suitable similarity variable. We employed Galerkin weighted residual method to solve the resulting non-linear equations. The results show the effects of variable viscosity parameter, Brinkman number, Reynolds number, Prandtl number and Darcy number on the flow system.
