An analysis is presented for the thermal radiation effect on the non-Darcy natural convection over a vertical flat plate in a fluid saturated porous medium. Forchheimer extension is considered in the flow equations. Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The nondimensional governing partial equations are solved by the finite element method. The ... Read more

This paper investigates the combined effects of magnetohydrodynamics and radiation on free convection flow past an impulsively started isothermal vertical plate with Rosseland diffusion approximation. The fluid considered is a gray, absorbingemitting radiation but a non-scattering medium, with approximate transformations the boundary layer governing the flow are reduced to non-dimensional equations valid in the free convection regime. The dimensionless governing ... Read more
