Abstract EN
We study natural convection from a downward pointing cone in a viscoelastic fluid embedded in a porous medium.
The fluid properties are numerically computed for different viscoelastic, porosity, Prandtl and Eckert numbers.
The governing partial differential equations are converted to a system of fourth order ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformations and then solved together by using the successive linearization method (SLM).
Many studies have been carried out on natural convection from a cone but they did not consider a cone embedded in a porous medium with linear surface temperature.
The results in this work are validated by the comparison with other authors.
