A Numerical Investigation of Natural Convection in Porous Media

Error of labeling pages or Page 102 Not included in thesis. / <p> A semi-explicit scheme for the solution of transient multdimensional
natural convection is made to study natural convection
in porous media. The conservation equations are phrased in primitive
form. Heat tranfer between the solid and liquid phases is modelled
by representing the porous medium as an assemblage of spherical
particles, and solving the conduction problem for such a system at
every time step. Nusselt numbers were calculated from the temperature
and velocity profiles. Numerical results for heat transfer through
fluid saturated porous media heated from below are in good agreement
with published experiments.</p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
