Abstract
Similarity solution for the problem of hydrodynamic dispersion in mixed convection heat and mass transfer from vertical surface embedded in porous media has been presented. The flow induced by the density variations is comparable with the freestream flow. The heat and mass transfer in the boundary layer region for aiding and opposing buoyancies in both aiding and opposing flows has been analyzed. The structure of the flow, temperature, and concentration fields in the Darcy and non-Darcy porous media are governed by complex interactions among the diffusion rate (Le) and buoyancy ratio (N) in addition to the flow driving parameter (Ra/Pe). The flow, temperature, and concentration fields are analyzed and the variation of heat and mass transfer coefficients with the governing parameters are presented. [S0022-1481(00)00703-9]Keywords
