MHD Mixed Convection Flow Over a Permeable Vertical Flat Plate Embedded in a Darcy–Forchheimer Porous Medium

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the stead MHD mixed convection flow over a permeable vertical flat plate embedded in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium. Using appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary (similar) differential equations, which are numerically solved using the bvp4c function in MATLAB. The numerical results are used to present graphically and in tables, illustrations of the reduced skin friction, reduced Nusselt number, velocity, and temperature profiles. Dual (upper and lower branch) solutions are discovered in this exciting analysis. Although numerous studies on the mixed convection past a vertical plate embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium exist, none of the researchers have focused on the Darcy–Forchheimer flow with asymptotic solutions. The behavior of the flow and heat transfer has been thoroughly analyzed with the variations in governing parameters, such as Darcy–Forchheimer \(G,\) suction/injection \(S\), MHD \(M,\) and mixed convection \(\lambda\) parameters.
