Similarity analysis for natural convection from a vertical plate with distributed wall concentration.
We use a method based on a separation of variables for solving a first order partial differential equations system, using a very simple modelling of MHD. The method consists in introducing three unknown variables Φ1, Φ2, Φ3 in addition to the time variable t and then in searching a solution which is separated with respect to Φ1 and t only. This is allowed by a very simple relation, called a “metric separation equation”, which governs the type of solutions with respect to time. The families...
