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 sensit

We consider the free-convection boundary-layer flow in a saturated porous medium adjacent to an impermeable vertical surface. It is assumed that the surface is supplying heat to the porous medium in a prescribed way, which varies along the surface. The problem, which relates to the spatial stability
Ahstraet--A numerical study of combined heat and mass transfer by natural convection adjacent to vertical surfaces situated in fluid-saturated porous media is reported. Special attention is given to opposing buoyancy effects of the same order and unequal thermal and species diffusion coefficients. T
