Using an ADI finite difference method in the solution of heat transfer problem on a horizontal porous plate

Abstract

The paper is devoted to finding an approximation solution to the boundary value problem obtained from heat transfer by convection of a Newtonian incompressible fluid flowing on a flat plate. The partial differential equations have been treated numerically to get the approximate solution using the  ADI finite difference technique, considered a good approximate mathematical method with accepted accuracy. The results indicated that the steady state of the governing equations can be reached for some parameters.
