Steady state natural convection of Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a square cavity filled with a porous medium is investigated numerically. The temperatures of the two side walls of the cavity are maintained at TH and TC, where TC has been considered as the reference condition. The top and the bottom horizontal walls have been considered to be insulated i.e., non-conducting and impermeable to mass...

This paper presents the study of the effects of variable thermal conductivity and Darcy-Forchheimer on magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow in a vertical channel in the presence of constant suction. The resulting governing equations are non-dimensionalised, simplified and solved using Crank Nicolson type of finite difference method. To check the accuracy of the numerical solution, steady-st...

In this paper, the effect of suspended particles on thermal convection in an incompressible Rivlin-Ericksen elastico-viscous fluid in a porous medium is considered. For the porous medium, the Brinkman model is employed. By applying a normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation has been derived and solved analytically. It is observed that the medium permeability, suspended particles, gr...

This paper investigates the influence of double dispersion and viscosity on natural convection heat and mass transfer from vertical cone in a non-Darcy porous medium saturated with non-Newtonian fluid. The surface of the cone and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature and concentration. The Ostwald-de Waele power law model is used to characterize the n...

Thermo-diffusion effect on free convection heat and mass transfer from a vertical surface embedded in a liquid saturated thermally stratified non Darcy porous medium has been analyzed using a local non-similar procedure. The wall temperature and concentration are constant and the medium is linearly stratified in the vertical direction with respect to the thermal conditions. The fluid flow, temp...

We present a well-posed model for the Stokes/Brinkman problem with jump embedded boundary conditions (J.E.B.C.) on an immersed interface. It is issued from a general framework recently proposed for fictitious domain problems. Our model is based on algebraic transmission conditions combining the stress and velocity jumps on the interface Σ separating the fluid and porous domains. These condition...

The Earth’s mantle (or, e.g., a glacier) involves a deformable solid matrix phase within which a second phase, a fluid, may form due to melting processes. The system is modeled as a dual-continuum mixture, with at each point of space the solid matrix being governed by a Stokes flow and the fluid melt, if it exists, being governed by Darcy’s law. This system is mathematically degenerate when the...

Darcy-scale models of flow and transport in porous media often fail to describe experimentally observed phenomena, while their pore-scale counterparts are accurate but can be computationally prohibitive. Most numerical multiscale models, which seek to combine these two descriptions, require empirical closures and/or assumptions about the behavior of pore-scale quantities at the continuum (Darcy...
