Abstract

An analysis of the effects of free convection currents on the flow field of an incompressible viscous fluid past an infinite porous plate, which is uniformly accelerated upwards in its own plane, is presented, when the fluid is subjected to a variable suction (or injection) velocity. It is assumed that this normal velocity at the porous plate varies att′−1/2, wheret′ denotes time. The equations governing the flow are solved numerically, using two-point boundary value shooting techniques.
