ABSTRACT

The steady laminar flow through a porous medium of an incompressible non-Newtonian Rivlin-Ericksen fluid impinging normal to a plane wall with heat transfer is investigated. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear momentum and energy equations is obtained. The effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid on both the flow and heat transfer is outlined.

Keywords: Hiemenz Flow, Porous Medium, Non-Newtonian Fluid, Heat Transfer
