Note on the Unsteady Mixed Boundary Layer in a Porous Medium with Temperature Slip: Exact Solutions
In this note, the mixed unsteady stagnation-point boundary layer over a vertical plate with mass transfer in a fluid-saturated porous medium is revisited. Closed-form analytical solutions are found and presented for a special value of the flow unsteadiness parameter. Multiple solution branches are obtained for certain controlling parameters. These solutions might offer more insights into the mixed convection flow characteristics compared with the numerical solutions.
