APPLICATION OF HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD FOR SOLVING BRINKMAN MOMENTUM EQUATION FOR FULLY DEVELOPED FORCED CONVECTION IN A POROUS SATURATED CHANNEL

In this paper an analytical solution is presented to solve Darcy-Brinkman equation for fully developed forced convection in a porous channel surrounded by two isoflux parallel plates, using homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The results show an excellent agreement between HPM and exact solution of the equation in various values of key parameters.
