...C. Y. Wang Using an efficient Ritz method, the thermoconvective stability of a bottom-heated porous layer in vertical elliptic and semi-elliptic enclosures with adiabatic side walls is studied. The stability mosaics for the critical Rayleigh number and the preferred modes are determined for various...

...W. A. Khan; Rama Subba Reddy Gorla Second law characteristics of heat transfer and fluid flow due to free convection of non-Newtonian fluids over a horizontal plate with prescribed surface temperature in a porous medium are analyzed. Velocity and temperature fields are obtained numerically using...

...C. Y. Wang The fully developed viscous flow through a sector duct filled with a porous medium is studied. The Darcy–Brinkman and energy equations are solved analytically by series expansions in Bessel functions of the first kind. The problem is governed by a porous medium parameter s , which...

...Sophia Haussener; Patrick Coray; Wojciech Lipiński; Peter Wyss; Aldo Steinfeld Reticulate porous ceramics employed in high-temperature processes are characterized for heat and mass transfer. The exact 3D digital geometry of their complex porous structure is obtained by computer tomography and used...
