Fully developed mixed convection through a vertical porous channel with an anisotropic permeability: case of heat flux
Keywords:
Fluid mechanics, porous media, computer algebra.Abstract
The effect of anisotropy on the steady fully developed mixed convec- tion flow in a vertical porous channel is analytically studied. The side walls of the channel are prescribed by a constant heat flux and the flow at the entrance is upward, so that natural convection aids the forced flow. It is shown that the anisotropy parameter has a significant effect of the flow and heat transfer characteristics. We extend the study in [9] with the case of opposing flow by using Computer Algebra software.
