OPEN ACCESS
This paper investigates the combined effect of heat source/sink and radiative heat transfer to steady flow of a conducting optically thick visco-elastic fluid through a channel filled with saturated porous medium induced by nonuniform walls temperature. Analytical solutions of the nonlinear ordinary differential equations governing the flow are obtained using Adomian decomposition method. The effects of different parameters in the model on the temperature and velocity profiles are presented and discussed.
