Abstract The numerical solution of transient natural convection MHD flow past a vertical cylinder embedded in a porous medium with surface temperature
and concentration along with thermal radiation is presented. The temperature and concentration level at the cylinder surface are assumed to vary as
power law type functions, with exponents m and n respectively in the stream wise co-ordinate. The governing boundary layer equations are
converted into a non-dimensional form. A Crank-Nicolson type of implicit finite-difference method is used to solve the governing non-linear set of
equations. Numerical results are obtained and presented with various thermal and mass Grashof numbers and… More >
