Abstract This paper presents a theoretical and numerical investigation of the natural convection boundary-layer along a vertical surface, which is embedded in a porous medium, when the surface heat flux varies as (1 +x 2)μ), where μ is a constant andx is the distance along the surface. It is shown that for μ 〉 -1/2 the solution develops from a similarity solution which is valid for small values ofx to one which is valid for large values ofx. However, when μ ⩽ -1/2 no similarity solutions exist for large values ofx and it is found that there are two cases to consider, namely μ 〈 -1/2 and μ = -1/2. The wall temperature and the velocity at large distances along the plate are determined for a range of values of μ.
