It is shown that Yih's exact solution for the non-diffusive flow of a non-homogeneous fluid into a sink in a confined porous medium is equivalent to a class of diffusive flows with isopycnic lateral boundaries.

Abstract In this paper, an attempt is made to discuss the combined influence of radiation and dissipation on the convective heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous fluid through a porous medium in a rectangular cavity using the Darcy model. Making use of the incompressibility, the governing non-linear coupled equations for the momentum, energy and diffusion are derived in terms of the non-dimensional stream function, temperature and concentration. The Galerkin finite element analysis with linear triangular elements is used to obtain the global stiffness matrices for the values of stream function, temperature and concentration. These coupled matrices are solved using an iterative procedure and expressions for the stream function, temperature and concentration are obtained as linear combinations of the shape functions. The behavior of temperature, concentration, the Nusselt number and Sherwood number is discussed computationally for different values of the governing parameters, such as the Rayleigh Number (Ra), heat source parameter (α), Eckert number (Ec), Schmidt Number (Sc), Soret parameter (S0), buoyancy ratio (N).

Filtration of suspension in a porous medium is actual in the construction of tunnels and underground structures. A model of deep bed filtration with size-exclusion mechanism of particle capture is considered. The inverse filtration problem - finding the Langmuir coefficient from a given concentration of suspended particles at the porous medium outlet is solved using the asymptotic solution near the concentrations front. The Langmuir coefficient constants are obtained by the least squares method from the condition of best approximation of the asymptotics to exact solution. It is shown that the calculated parameters are close to the coefficients of the model, and the asymptotics well approximates the exact solution

We analyze analytically the effects of anisotropy in permeability and that of a transverse magnetic field on thermal convection in a porous medium saturated with a binary fluid and confined in a horizontal cavity. The porous medium, of great extension, is subjected to various conditions at the thermal and solutal boundaries. The axes of the permeability tensor are oriented obliquely with respect to the gravitational field. Based on a scale analysis, the velocity, temperature, and heat and mass transfer rate fields were determined. These results were validated by the study of borderline cases which are: pure porous media and pure fluid media discussed in the literature. It emerges from this study that the anisotropy parameters influence the convective flow. The application of a transverse magnetic field significantly reduces the speed of the flow and thereby affects the temperature field and the rate of heat and mass transfer.
