Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Rotating Porous Media

Download or read book Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Rotating Porous Media written by Peter Vadasz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book concentrates the available knowledge on rotating fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media in one single reference. Dr. Vadasz develops the fundamental theory of rotating flow and heat transfer in porous media and introduces systematic classification and identification of the relevant problems. An initial distinction between rotating flows in isothermal heterogeneous porous systems and natural convection in homogeneous non-‐isothermal porous systems provides the two major classes of problems to be considered. A few examples of solutions to selected problems are presented, highlighting the significant impact of rotation on the flow in porous media.
