Hossain, M. A.; Kabir, S.; Rees, D. A. S. Natural convection of fluid with variable viscosity from a heated vertical wavy surface. (English) Zbl 0996.76081 Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 53, No. 1, 48-57 (2002). Summary: The effect of a temperature-dependent viscosity on natural convection flow of viscous incompressible fluid from a vertical wavy surface has been investigated using an implicit finite difference method. We have focused our attention on the evaluation of local skin-friction and local Nusselt number. The governing parameters are Prandtl number, Pr, ranging from 1 to 100, the amplitude of the waviness of surface, \(\alpha\), ranging from 0.0 to 0.4, and the viscosity variation parameter, \(\varepsilon\), ranging from 0.0 to 6.
