Double-Diffusive Natural Convective Flow of a Nanofluid past an Inclined Wavy Plate in a Non-Darcy Porous Medium

In this paper, the double-diffusive convective flow along an inclined semi-infinite wavy plate in a nanofluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium is investigated numerically. Following Prandtl's transposition theorem, a coordinate transformation is used to transform the irregular wavy surface into a smooth surface. The convective type thermal boundary condition is taken into account and also the Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are considered into the present nanofluid model. The governing transport equations are initially reshaped into a system of coupled ordinary differential equations by choosing suitable similarity transformations and then solved numerically by using the Spectral Local Linearization Method (SLLM). The effects of various flow influenced parameters on the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are explored and exhibited graphically.
