Thermal Viscous Dissipative Couette Flow in a Channel Filled with Porous Medium
The increasing demand for high-performance electronic devices and surge in power density accentuates the need for heat transfer enhancement. In this study, a thermal viscous dissipative Couette flow and Couette-Poiseuille flow in a channel filled with fluid saturated porous medium is looked into. Tw...

Two cases of thermal boundary condition are considered: constant heat flux is applied on the moving wall while the fixed plate is insulated, and both plates are subjected to constant heat flux.
