Viscous dissipation effect on natural convection in a fluid saturated porous medium
This paper considers the problem of viscous dissipation effects on non-Darcy natural convection over a vertical flat plate embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium. Forchheimer extension is considered in the flow equations and its contribution to viscous dissipation is considered in the energy equation. The nondimensional governing equations are solved, numerically, by the finite-element method (FEM). The resulting nonlinear integral ... Read more
