Numerical study of Ekman boundary layer and heat transfer in porous medium using Keller-Box

In this research, the Ekman boundary layer flow and heat transfer in porous medium with large value of suction parameter is studied. The governing equations which are the momentum equation and energy equation are derived based on the principle of conservation law. The obtained dimensional governing...
