Abstract
A finite-difference solution of the transient free convection flow of water near 4°C past an infinite vertical porous plate has been carried out. The most appropriate relation for the density in terms of the temperature, as derived by Gebhart and Mollendorf, is employed. It has been observed that, when the buoyancy force is in the upward direction, the velocity profiles are positive and opposite to those in the case where the buoyancy force is in the downward direction. Also, the skin friction is more when the buoyancy force is in the upward direction than when the buoyancy force is in the downward direction.
