Boundary Layer Flow over a Vertical Cylinder Embedded in a Porous Medium Moving with non Linear Velocity
Author:
Abstract: In this work, we consider a steady flow of an incompressible fluid over a cylinder which is
semi-infinite. The cylinder is embedded in a porous medium and is considered to move vertically with
nonlinear velocity. A system of ordinary differential equations is obtained from the partial differential
equations governing the motion using a self-similarity transformation. Such system of ordinary differential
equations is solved numerically after obtaining the missed initial conditions. The problem has been solved
analytically for the linear velocity case. Numerical and analytical results for such case are given to validate
the numerical method used.
