Abstract

This paper investigates the time independent unidirectional flow of a fourth grade fluid filling the porous half space. Flow modelling is based upon a modified Darcy's law. Travelling wave and conditional symmetry solutions are developed. The graphs are plotted and discussed for the sundry parameters.
