Abstract

: This research investigated the effects of some physical parameters on ground temperature with a vegetative cover in an infinitely horizontal direction with time-dependent suction velocity in the presence of internal heat generation. The governing equations (continuity equation and energy equation) were reduced to non-dimensional form by the use of some dimensionless parameters resulting into a set of partial differential equations. These equations were then solved analytically using perturbation method and the numerical results obtained using MATLAB 7.9.0 (R2009b) software. The effects of governing physical parameters, such as Radiation parameter (R), Prandlt number (Pr) and frequency of oscillation (ω) were examined on the resulted temperature and Biot number.  The results were displayed on tables and graphs, and were compared with existing works in literature. The result obtained is very crucial in addressing problems associated with ground temperature especially when the depth considered is profound and the internal heat generation is very significant.
