Abstract

In this paper, we present a numerical method based on cubic B-spline function for
studying the effects of thermal radiation and mass transfer on free convection flow
over a moving vertical porous plate. Similarity transformations reduced the
governing partial differential equations of the fluid flow to a system of nonlinear
ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically using a cubic B-spline
collocation method. The effects of various physical parameters on the velocity,
temperature, and concentration distributions are shown graphically, and the
numerical values of physical quantities like skin friction, Nusselt number, and
Sherwood number for various parameters are presented in tabular form and
discussed.
