Heat transfer modeling at an interface between a porous medium and a free region,

This work deals with the study of heat transfer between a porous medium and a free medium, using multi scale approaches. First, we derive the boundary conditions that must be applied at a free-porous interface for laminar heat transfer at local thermal equilibrium and, then, at local thermal non-equilibrium. For turbulent heat transfer, a direct numerical simulation is performed supplying a better understanding of the physic at the free-porous interface. Then, we determine a turbulent model with associated jump conditions. These studies answer fundamental questions regarding the physical meaning of the jump conditions, the values of the jump parameters and the location of the interface for heat transfer.
