“…Several researchers have studied this classical model problem under constant thermophysical properties (that is, constant viscosity and thermal conductivity with negligible heat generation) in different contexts. Some of the important contributions to these model problems where the flow is two-dimensional are listed in Prasad et al, 2014, Zainuddin et al, 2015, Mohamed et al, 2016, Prasad et al, 2016, Zokri et al, 2018, Rath and Dah, 2020. Appreciable research has been carried out in the modeling and simulation of problems that describe the flow of Newtonian fluids under both linear heat generation and Boussinesq approximation in several geometries.…”
