β¦ Synopsis
We solve the governing equations for the flow of a third grade fluid in a porous half space. We find a simple expression which describes the solution accurately over the whole domain Β½0; 1Γ. The rate of exponential decay of the flow is independent of the parameters which characterize the nonlinear part of a third grade fluid. Coefficients in a series expansion depend only on a single material constant.

An analytic approximate solution is presented for the natural convective dissipative heat transfer of an incompressible, third grade, non-Newtonian fluid flowing past an infinite porous plate embedded in a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium. The mathematical model is developed in an Γ°x; yΓ coordinate s
