TL;DR: In this article, a generalised non-Darcian porous medium model for natural convective flow has been developed taking into account linear and non-linear matrix drag components as well as the inertial and viscous forces within the fluid.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown numerically that the buoyancy induced circulation resonates to a certain (single) frequency of the pulsating heat input, characterized by maximum fluctuations in the total heat transfer rate through the vertical midplane of the cavity.

TL;DR: In this article, steady laminar flow of two viscous, incompressible, electricallyconducting and heat-generating or absorbing immiscible fluids in an infinitely-long, impermeable parallel-plate channel filled with a uniform porous medium is considered.
Abstract: This study considers steady, laminar flow of two viscous, incompressible, electrically-conducting and heat-generating or absorbing immiscible fluids in an infinitely-long, impermeable parallel-plate channel filled with a uniform porous medium. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied normal to the flow direction. The channel walls are assumed to be electrically nonconducting and are maintained at two different temperatures. When present, the porous medium is assumed to act as an electrical insulator and that it is in local thermal equilibrium with the fluid. The transport properties of both fluids are assumed to be constant. This study is expected to be useful in understanding the influence of the presence of slag layers on the flow and heat transfer aspects of coal-fired Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generators when the porous medium is absent and the effects of thermal buoyancy and a magnetic field on enhanced oil recovery and filtration systems where the porous medium is present. The problem is formulated by employing the balance laws of mass, linear momentum, and energy for both phases. Continuous conditions for the velocity and temperature as well as the shear stress and heat flux of both phases at the interface are employed

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe convective and radiative heat transfer in porous media, both with or without phase change, and show that for the flow field the boundary effect is confined within a thin momentum boundary layer.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the convective and radiative heat transfer in porous media. Convective and radiative heat transfer and multiphase transport processes in porous media, both with or without phase change, have gained extensive attention. Several applications related to porous media require a detailed analysis of convective heat transfer in different geometrical shapes, orientations, and configurations. Based on the specific application, the flow in the porous medium may be internal or external. Forced convection over external boundaries in the presence of a porous medium constitutes a very important subject area. Analysis of convective heat transfer from this type of external boundary embedded in a porous medium has many important applications. It is shown that for the flow field the boundary effect is confined within a thin momentum boundary layer, which often plays an insignificant role in the overall flow consideration. The models developed for simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes in multiphase porous systems may have differences due to the various assumptions made in developing each model. The thermal radiation characteristics of porous beds are also elaborated.

TL;DR: In this paper, volume-averaged equations are developed governing steady, laminar, fully developed, hydromagnetic mixed convection non-Darcian flow of an electrically conducting and heat-generating / absorbing fluid in a channel embedded in a uniform porous medium.
Abstract: Volume-averaged equations are developed governing steady, laminar, fully developed, hydromagnetic mixed convection non-Darcian flow of an electrically conducting and heat-generating / absorbing fluid in a channel embedded in a uniform porous medium. Proper dimensionless parameters are employed for various thermal boundary conditions on the left and right walk of the channel prescribed as isothermal-isothermal, isothermal-iso-flux, and isoflux-isothermal. Analytical expressions for the velocity and temperature profiles in the channel as well as for the mass flow rate, friction factor, and heat carried out by the fluid in the channel are developed for special cases of the problem. Conditions for the occurrence of fluid backflow zones are reported. The fully nonlinear governing equations are solved numerically by an implicit finite difference method. Favorable comparisons with the developed analytical results and previously published work are performed. Graphical results of the closed-form and numer...
