Unsteady Heat Transfer over a Porous Flat Plate


	This Demonstration gives a numerical solution of the energy equation for the temperature distribution in viscous flow past a porous flat plate. The solution uses a finite difference method.

and the initial condition

Here

is Prandtl's number,

is non-dimensional temperature,

is dimensionless time, and

is dimensionless position.
