An Exponential Series Method for the Solution of Free Convection Boundary Layer Flow in a Saturated Porous Medium

Third order nonlinear ordinary differential equation, subject to appropriate boundary conditions, arising in fluid mechanics is solved exactly using more suggestive schemes- Dirichlet series and method of stretching variables. These methods have advantages over pure numerical methods in obtaining derived quantities accurately for various values of the parameters involved at a stretch and are valid in a much larger domain compared with classical numerical schemes.
