“…Boundary value problems arise everywhere in engineering (Khan, 2018; Bilige and Han, 2018; Yadav et al , 2019; Abu Arqub, 2018; Tian and He, 2018; Qiu, 2018; Karakas, 2018) and serve as “numerical building blocks” for many computational fluid dynamics software. More and more evidences have been reported that an unsmooth boundary or a porous medium can greatly affect the mass, energy and charge transfer through the boundary (Guo and Fu, 2019; Sivasankaran et al , 2019; Genbach et al , 2019; He et al , 2019). A suitable boundary morphology can result in an extremely fast convection–diffusion process (He, 2019a).…”
