Abstract
The differences in existing porous medium flow models and their effect on h ow and heat transfer are discussed. A fluid-saturated porous medium subject ed to constant heat flux has been considered. The Galerkin finite element m ethod coupled with the velocity correction procedure is used to solve a set of generalized porous medium equations. Results are presented for a wide r ange of Darcy and Rayleigh numbers. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, L td.
