Abstract

Analytic solution Homotopy analysis method Non-Darcy natural convection Porous medium
An analytic technique, namely the homotopy analysis method, is applied to solve the combined heat and mass transfer by natural convection adjacent to a vertical wall in a non-Darcy porous medium governed by a set of three fully coupled, highly nonlinear similarity equations. An explicit, totally analytic and uniformly valid solution is derived, which agrees well with numerical results.
