Abstract

In the present paper we have discuss similarity solution for the partial differential equation governing one dimensional unsteady flow through unsaturated porous media. The general starching transformations are employed to derive similarity transformation to transform partial differential equation along with boundary condition into ordinary differential equation. The reduced second order ordinary differential equation is solved by two parameter singular perturbation method.
