Abstract
The effect of internal heat generation/absorption on a steady two-dimensional natural convection flow of viscous incompressible fluid along a uniformly heated vertical wavy surface has been investigated. The equations are mapped into the domain of flat vertical plate, and then solved numerically employing the implicit finite difference method, known as Keller-box scheme. Effects of the pertinent parameters, such as the heat generation/absorption parameter ( Q), the amplitude of the waviness ( α) of the surface and Prandtl number Pr on the rate of heat transfer in terms of the local Nusselt number ( Nu x ), isotherms and the streamlines are discussed.
