Abstract
In this paper, we have studied the flow of incompressible fluids in a straight square duct through the porous medium. The couple stress fluid model and Jeffrey fluid model are considered separately to study the flow properties. The governing partial differential equations have been solved numerically using finite difference method in each case. In both the cases, the variation of different flow parameters on the fluid velocity is illustrated graphically and the numerical results for the volume flow rate have been presented through tables. It is observed that, the velocity and volume flow rate decrease with an increase in couple stress parameter and porosity parameter, while the velocity and volume flow rate increase with an increase in Jeffrey parameter and pressure gradient.
