Transverse Heterogeneity Effects in the Dissipation-Induced Instability of a Horizontal Porous Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The linear stability of a parallel flow in a heterogeneous porous channel is analyzed by means of the Darcy law and the Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximation. The basic velocity and temperature ...
Heterogeneity and Onset of Instability in Darcy’s Flow With a Prescribed Horizontal Temperature Gradient
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this study is the analysis of the onset conditions for the thermal instability in a fluid saturated porous medium. The investigation refers to an infinitely wide horizontal porous ...
Closed Form Solutions For Mixed Convection With Magnetohydrodynamic Effect in a Vertical Porous Annulus Surrounding an Electric Cable
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mixed convection Darcy flow in a vertical porous annulus around a straight electric cable is investigated. It is assumed that the flow is fully developed and parallel. Moreover, the Boussinesq ...
Darcy–Forchheimer Flow With Viscous Dissipation in a Horizontal Porous Layer: Onset of Convective Instabilities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parallel Darcy–Forchheimer flow in a horizontal porous layer with an isothermal top boundary and a bottom boundary, which is subject to a third kind boundary condition, is discussed by taking ...
Thermal Nonequilibrium and Viscous Dissipation in the Thermal Entrance Region of a Darcy Flow With Streamwise Periodic Boundary Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The thermal entrance region in a plane-parallel channel filled by a fluid saturated porous medium is investigated with reference to steady forced convection and to a thermal boundary condition ...
Wildfire Risk Mitigation through Systems Analysis of the Planetary Emergency
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recognizing wildfires as a multiscale planetary emergency, this paper describes a systems analysis of technology countermeasures, with special attention to Sicily, California, and several other regions. The paper describes ...
