Numerical Study on Gas Flow Through a Micro-Nano Porous Media Based on Special Functions
In this paper unsteady isothermal flow of a gas through a semi-infinite Micro-Nano porous medium which is a non-linear two-point boundary value problem (BVP) on semi-infinite interval has been considered. We solve this problem by two different pseudospectral approaches and compare their
results with solution of other methods. The proposed approaches are equipped by the orthogonal rational Legendre and Sinc functions. These methods reduce solution of the problem to solution of a system of algebraic equations. Also through the convergence of these methods we determine the accurate
initial slope y′(0) with good capturing the essential behavior of y(x).
