Download or read book Natural Convection in Superposed Fluid-Porous Layers written by Aniruddha Bagchi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural Convection in Composite Fluid-Porous Domains provides a timely overview of the current state of understanding on the phenomenon of convection in composite fluid-porous layers. Natural convection in horizontal fluid-porous layers has received renewed attention because of engineering problems such as post-accident cooling of nuclear reactors, contaminant transport in groundwater, and convection in fibrous insulation systems. Because applications of the problem span many scientific domains, the book serves as a valuable resource for a wide audience.
