Algebraically explicit analytical solutions of two-buoyancy natural convection in porous media (Q1876331)

Analytical solutions of governing equations of various physical phenomena have their own irreplaceable theoretical meaning. In addition, they can also be the benchmark solutions to verify the outcomes and codes of numerical solution, and to develop various numerical methods such as their difference schemes and grid generation skills as well. In order to promote the development of the discipline of natural convection, three simple algebraically explicit analytical solution sets are derived for a nonlinear simultaneous partial differential equation set with five dependent unknown variables, which represents the natural convection in porous media with both temperature and concentration gradients. An extraordinary method separating variables with addition is applied in this paper to deduce solutions.
