Natural convection from a vertical wall embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium filled with nanofluids

– This work aims to focus on the study of natural convection heat transfer characteristics in a vertical wall embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium filled with nanofluids.

– The governed partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations which are obtained by similarity solution and then have been solved through homotopy analysis method.

– The results show that Cu-water as nanofluid enhances the local Nusselt number more than other nanofluids.

– Nanoparticles and nanofluid enhance the local Nusselt number.
