RT Journal Article ID 1070caf265ab9ab0 A1 Al-Nimr, Moh'd Ahmad T1 The Effect of the Local Inertial Term on the Free-Convection Fluid Flow in Vertical Channels Partially Filled with Porous Media JF Journal of Porous Media JO JPM YR 2003 FD 2003-03-01 VO 6 IS 1 OP 12 AB The transient hydrodynamics and thermal behaviors of the free-convection fluid flow in open-ended vertical parallel-plate channels partially filled with porous material are investigated. The role of the local macroscopic inertial term in the porous domain momentum equation is studied. The ranges of different dimensionless parameters within which the local inertial term is of significant effect are presented.
