摘要：
The characteristics of the boundary layer flow past a plane surface adjacent to a saturated Darcy–Brinkman porous medium are investigated in this paper. The flow is driven by an external free stream moving with constant velocity. The surface is heated with a convective boundary condition with constant heat transfer coefficient. The problem is non-similar and is investigated numerically by a finite difference method. The problem is governed by four non-dimensional parameters, that is, the convective Darcy number, the convective Grashof number, the Prandtl number, and the axial distance along the plate. The influence of these parameters on the results is investigated, and the results are presented in tables and figures. The Darcy term and the Grashof term in the momentum equation contradict each other and this contradiction makes the problem complicated. However, the wall shear stress and the wall temperature increase continuously along the plate and the wall temperature always tends to 1.
