  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, similarity solution of free convection from inclined permeable wall embedded in a stratified porous medium is investigated. It is assumed that the heated wall has constant temperature and permeability along the wall is variable. Energy equation and Darcy's law as momentum have been used. Due to similarity solution we consider only large wall inclination angle. Effects of mass flux, permeability variation function, and wall inclination angle on thermal and velocity boundary layer thickness and heat transfer at the wall are investigated.
