Description
Research into thermal convection in porous media has substantially increased during recent years due to its numerous practical applications.
These problems have attracted the attention of industrialists, engineers and scientists from many very diversified disciplines, such
as applied mathematics, chemical, civil, environmental, mechanical and nuclear engineering, geothermal physics and food science. Thus,
there is a wealth of information now available on convective processes in porous media and it is therefore appropriate and timely to
undertake a new critical evaluation of this contemporary information.
Transport Phenomena in Porous Media contains 17 chapters
and represents the collective work of 27 of the world's leading experts, from 12 countries, in heat transfer in porous media. The recent
intensive research in this area has substantially raised the expectations for numerous new practical applications and this makes the
book a most timely addition to the existing literature. It includes recent major developments in both the fundamentals and applications,
and provides valuable information to researchers dealing with practical problems in thermal convection in porous media. Each chapter
of the book describes recent developments in the highly advanced analytical, numerical and experimental techniques which are currently
being employed and discussions of possible future developments are provided. Such reviews not only result in the consolidation of the
currently available information, but also facilitate the identification of new industrial applications and research topics which merit
further work.
Audience
For researchers and practitioners in applied mathematics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, physics, geophysics, biology and civil, mechanical, environmental and chemical engineering.
