Turbulence in Porous Media introduces the reader to the
characterisation of turbulent flow, heat and mass transfer in
permeable media, including analytical data and a review of
available experimental data. Such transport processes occurring a
relatively high velocity in permeable media are present in a number
of engineering and natural flows. This new edition features a
completely updated text including two new chapters exploring
Turbulent Combustion and Moving Porous Media. De Lemos has expertly
brought together a text that compiles, details, compares and
evaluates available methodologies for modelling and simulating
flow, providing an essential tour for engineering students working
within the field as well as those working in chemistry, physics,
applied mathematics, and geological and environmental
sciences.
Brings together groundbreaking and complex research on turbulence
in porous mediaExtends the original model to situations including
reactive systemsNow discusses movement of the porous matrix"
This book presents, in a self-contained fashion, a series of
studies on flow and heat transfer in porous media, in which
distinct energy balances are considered for the porous matrix and
for the permeating fluid. Detailed mathematical modeling is
presented considering both volume and time averaging operators
simultaneously applied to the governing equations. System involving
combustion in the gaseous phase, moving bed and double-diffusion
mechanism are analyzed. Numerical results are presented for each
case. In the end, this book contains the description of a tool that
might benefit engineers in developing and designing more efficient
thermal equipment.
This short book deals with the mathematical modeling of jets
impinging porous media. It starts with a short introduction to
models describing turbulences in porous media as well as turbulent
heat transfer. In its main part, the book presents the heat
transfer of impinging jets using a local and a non-local thermal
equilibrium approach.
