Local similarity solutions of the forced and free convection flow past a semi‐infinite vertical porous plate have been obtained numerically. Velocity and temperature profiles are shown for air ( Pr = 0.72) and for different values of Gr (Gr > 0, cooling of the plate and Gr <0, heating of the plate) (Grashof number), E (Eckert number) and f w (f w >0, suction, f w <0, injection). the effects of these parameters are discussed.
