Natural Convection in Superposed Fluid-Porous Layers

Natural Convection in Composite Fluid-Porous Domains provides a timely overview of the current state of understanding on the phenomenon of convection in composite fluid-porous layers. Natural convection in horizontal fluid-porous layers has received renewed attention because of engineering problems such as post-accident cooling of nuclear reactors, contaminant transport in groundwater, and convection in fibrous insulation systems. Because applications of the problem span many scientific domains, the book serves as a valuable resource for a wide audience.

List of contents

Introduction.- Literature Review.- Mathematical Formulation and Numerical Solution.- Numerical Prediction of Convection.- Measurement of Heat Transfer Coefficients.- Discussion.
