Abstract
A simple semi-implicit time stepping solution procedure has been developed and tested for buoyancy driven porous media flow using the finite element m ethod. The generalised porous medium approach has been used to solve the fl ow. The advantages and disadvantages of the present method are briefly disc ussed. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
