Abstract: | The paper investigates the effect of radiation on Darcy's buoyancy induced flow of an optically dense viscous incompressible fluid along a heated inclined flat surface maintained at uniform temperature placed in a saturated porous medium with Rosseland diffusion approximation employing the implicit finite difference method together with Keller box elimination technique. Both the streamwise and normal components of the buoyancy force are retained in the momentum equations. The numerical results show that as the buoyancy parameter, ξ, increases the local Nusselt number increases. The results for the locally nonsimilar solutions are compared with the locally similar solutions for small angle of inclination and approximate similar solutions along vertical surface. The effect of the conduction-radiation parameter, R d , and the surface temperature excess ration, θ w , on the local Nusselt number, the tangential velocity distribution and the temperature distribution are also shown graphically. |
