Buoyancy-induced inclined boundary layer flow in a porous medium resulting from combined heat and mass buoyancy effects

  • 1. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, National Cheng-Kung Univ., Tainan (TW)

Description

An implicit finite difference method is used to analyze the natural convection boundary layer flow in a saturated porous medium resulting from combined heat and mass buoyancy effects adjacent to an inclined surface. Both the streamwise and normal components of the buoyancy force are retained in the momentum equations. The present formulation permits the angles of inclination ranging from 0 to close to 90 degrees from the horizontal
