Boundary layer natural convection in a fluid saturated porous medium using finite element method
The present paper considers a numerical study of the non-Darcy natural convection over a vertical flat plate in a fluid-saturated porous medium. Forchheimer extension is considered in the flow equations. The nondimensional governing equations are solved by the finite element method. The resulting nonlinear integral equations are linearized and solved using the Newton− Raphson iteration. The finite element implementations are ... Read more
