A numerical investigation of natural convection flow along irregular vertical surfaces in non-Newtonian fluids is reported. A wavy vertical surface is used as an example to show the heat transfer mechanism near such surfaces. The results demonstrate that with an increase of flow index, the axial vel
A theoretical analysi,.~ of laminar free-convection flow over a vertical isothermal wavy surface in a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is considered. The governing equations are first cast into a nondimensional form by using suitable boundary-layer variables that substract out the effect of the wavy su
