Darcy mixed convection in a fluid saturated square porous enclosure under multiple suction effect
S.V.S.S.N.V.G. Krishna Murthy, B.V. Rathish KumarIt is well known that the mixed convection process is the combined effect of the presence of both the forced and the free convection processes. In several applications such as…
