Abstract:This study considers the biomechanics in the stem of green plants. The process of translocation and transpiration is discussed. The coupled non-linear differential equations governing the motion of the flow were non-dimensionlized and then solved using the homotopy perturbation method. The effects of various parameters such as Schmidt number, porosity, buoyancy forces (thermal and concentration Grashof numbers) and aspect ratio embedded in the flow were examined on the concentration field. The results showed t… Show more
