Comparison of the present solution with previous work (Kim et al.24) for different Rayleigh numbers when Ra = 105, Pr = 0.7; (b) comparison of the temperature on axial midline between the present results and numerical results obtained by Khanafer et al.25 for Gr = 104, ϕ = 0.1 and Pr = 6.2 (Cu−Water).
