✦ Synopsis

The dierences in existing porous medium ¯ow models and their eect on ¯ow and heat transfer are discussed. A ¯uid-saturated porous medium subjected to constant heat ¯ux has been considered. The Galerkin ®nite element method coupled with the velocity correction procedure is used to solve a set of generalized porous medium equations. Results are presented for a wide range of Darcy and Rayleigh numbers.
