Abstract: Three-dimensional numerical experiments have been conducted to investigate the viscous and porous inertia effects on the pressure drop in a non-Newtonian fluid flow through a porous medium. A ...

Abstract: A porous media approach based on the volume-averaging theory has been proposed to investigate solute diffusion and ultrafiltration processes associated with hemodialysis using a hollow fiber ...

Abstract: The forced convective heat transfer in three-dimensional porous pin fin channels is numerically studied in this paper. The Forchheimer–Brinkman extended Darcy model and two-equation energy model ...

Abstract: A porous media approach was proposed to investigate the characteristics of the bifurcating airflow and mass transfer within a lung. The theory of porous media was introduced in order to deal ...

Abstract: The freezing front in a tumor during percutaneous cryoablation therapy was traced both analytically and numerically exploiting a bioheat equation. It has been shown that there exists a limiting ...
