Popis: An analysis is performed for mixed convection along a vertical plate with variable surface heat flux embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium. The non-Darcian convective, boundary viscous and inertia effects are all considered. A finite difference scheme was used to solve the system of transformed governing equations. The results indicate that the non-Darcian effects decrease the velocity and increase the temperature. As the mixed convection parameter increases, the dimensionless wall shear stress increases and the wall temperature decreases.
