Effect of Porosity on Unsteady Couette Flow with Heat Transfer in the Presence of Uniform Suction and Injection

The unsteady Couette flow through a porous medium of a viscous, incompressible fluid bounded by two parallel porous plates is studied with heat transfer. A uniform suction and injection are applied perpendicular to the plates while the fluid motion is subjected to a constant pressure gradient. The two plates are kept at different but constant temperatures while the viscous dissipation is included in the energy equation. The effect of the porosity of the medium and the uniform suction and injection on both the velocity and temperature distributions is examined.
