La modélisation d'un phénomène de convection naturelle dans un milieu poreux, occupant un domaine non borné, nous conduit à l'équation différentielle f‴+α+12 ff ″-αf'2=0, dans (0,+∞). Nous montrons que, pour α∈(-13,0), cette équation avec les conditions initiales f(0)=a∈ℝ,f'(0)=0 ou 1, admet une infinité de solutions globales, dont les dérivées d'ordre un et deux convergent vers 0 à l'infini.

The free convection, along a vertical flat plate embedded in a porous medium, can be described in terms of solutions to f‴+α+12 ff ″-αf'2=0, for all t∈(0,+∞). The purpose of this Note is to study the nonuniqueness of solutions to this problem, with the initial conditions, f(0)=a∈ℝ and f′(0)∈{0,1}, where α∈(-13,0). No assumption at infinity is imposed. We show that this problem has an infinite number of unbounded global solutions. Moreover, we prove that the first and the second derivative of solutions tend to 0 as t approaches infinity.
