Dual solutions for opposing mixed convection in porous media

arXiv:1803.05934 · doi:10.1115/1.4036727

Abstract

The problem of steady mixed convection boundary-layer flow on a cooled vertical permeable circular cylinder embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium is studied. Here, we evaluate the flow and heat transfer characteristics numerically for various values of the governing parameters and demonstrate the existence of dual solutions beyond a critical point.
