Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze a two-dimensional oscillatory free convective flow of an incompressible polar fluid through a porous medium bounded by an infinite vertical porous plate with oscillating suction and temperature at the wall. The governing equations are based on the volume averaging technique. Analytical expressions for the velocity, angular velocity, and temperature fields are obtained by using the regular perturbation technique. The analysis reveals a multiple boundary layer structure near the wall for the fields mentioned.
