## Abstract This paper presents a series of numerical simulations dealing with the problem of natural convection flows and associated heat transfer in an enclosure filled with a fluidβsaturated porous medium. The analysis is based on the finite element technique and incorporates the Brinkmanβextend

β¦ Synopsis
A linear stability analysis has been implemented for a viscous flow induced by internal heat sources in a vertical annular porous region bounded by two concentric cylinders. The analysis is made under the assumption that the flow is parallel to the cylinders. The perturbation equations are solved by a Chebyshev collocation spectral method. Results are given for a wide range of gaps. The critical curves in several planes formed by the physical parameters of the problem are plotted. In particular, the effects of the porous parameter and the radius ratio are examined.

The interplay between internal heat generation and externally driven natural convection inside a porous medium annulus is studied in detail using numerical methods. The axisymmetric domain is bounded with adiabatic top and bottom walls and differentially heated side walls sustaining steady natural c
