Local non-similar solutions for free convective flow with uniform lateral mass flux in a porous medium
WJ Minkowycz, P Cheng - Letters in Heat and Mass Transfer, 1982 - Elsevier
The problem of free convection along a vertical plane source or sink with uniform lateral
mass flux in a porous medium is solved by the local non-similarity approximation. Solutions
are carried out to the third level of truncation. Results for heat transfer characteristics as
obtained from the third level of truncation are found in excellent agreement with a previous
investigation using the finite difference method for a wide range of the mass flux parameter.
