โœฆ Synopsis

The eect of porosity on natural convective ยฏow and heat transfer in a ยฏuid saturated porous medium has been investigated using Galerkin's ยฎnite element method. A generalised non-Darcy ยฏow model with porosity as a separate parameter is used. Results indicate that the non-Darcy regime is highly sensitive to porosity changes. A variation of the order of 40% in the average Nusselt number is possible with change in the porosity, for the Rayleigh and Darcy number ranges considered.
