Abstract: A numerical analysis for free convection boundary layers along a permeable vertical flat surface with prescribed power-law temperature distribution T_w(x) = T_∞ + Ax^k at y = 0 embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium and subjected to an applied lateral mass flux proportional to the x ^k-1/2 quantity is presented. We provide detailed comparisons by considering both analytical and numerical findings of previous authors, and a very good agreement is encountered. The results obtained elucidate reliability and efficiency of the technique.
