Abstract

The effect of heat sinks on the free-convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an impulsively started infinite vertical porous plate is considered. Finite difference method has been used to obtain the numerical solution of the governing equations. The influence of the various parameters, occurring into the problem, on the velocity field, the temperature field and on their related quantities is extensively discussed with the help of graphs and tables.
