Numerical analysis of critical field functions for thermal convection in vertical or quasi-vertical Darcy flow slabs

Creator:

Shyu, Chuen Tien

Abstract:

The numerical analysis of thermal convection in porous media, heated from below, and assuming Darcy flow conditions, involves the solving of a set of non-linear equations for the temperature and flow fields. The condition of criticality determining the onset of convection is obtained by linearization and the solving of an...
