Abstract

This investigation deals with a comparison of suction/injection effect on flow, heat and mass transfer in porous media using a combined similarity-numerical solution. With this method of transformation, the governing transport PDEs are transformed into ODE and then solved numerically. The study reveals that suction/injection effect is more pronounce on the velocity distribution of a creeping flow (Darcy flow). The Darcy-Forchheimer flow has the steepest velocity curves due to non-linearity and has higher skin friction, heat and mass transfer rate when compared to the other porous media investigated.
