Unsteady Solutions in a Third-Grade Fluid Filling the Porous Space

An analysis is made of the unsteady flow of a third-grade fluid in a porous medium. A modified Darcy's law is considered in the flow modelling. Reduction and solutions are obtained by employing similarity and numerical methods. The effects of pertinent parameters on the flow velocity are studie...
