The present analysis investigates the non-Darcian free convection of a non-Newtonian fluid from a vertical sinusoidal wavy plate embedded in a homogenous porous medium with constant wall temperature. After a suitable coordinate transformation to reduce the complexity of the goveming boundary-layer equations, the resulting nonlinear, coupled differential equations were solved with the Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The Darcy-Rayleigh number is considered to be very large. The power-law model is used for non-Newtonian fluids with exponent n < 1 for pseudoplastic fluids; n= 1 for Newtonian fluids and n > 1 for dilatant fluids. The effects of the Grashof number Gr * , the wavy geometry, and the non-Newtonian nature of the fluids on the local and global rates of heat transfer are discussed. An increase in the power-law index leads to a greater fluctuation of the local Nusselt number and increasses the global rate of heat transfer. An increase in the Grashof num ber leads to a smaller fluctuation of the local heat transfer and increasing the boundary layer thickness, hence decreasing the global rate ofheat transfer.
