Numerical analysis of natural convection in porous media using constrained interpolated profile method

The advantages of porous media such as a good insulation, light weight and excellent filter encourage people to study about the characteristic of this material. The flows through porous media occur in a wide variety of applications and some had involved with natural convective heat transfer. In this...
