NATURAL CONVECTION THROUGH PERIODIC POROUS MEDIA
Abstrakt
This paper deals with "numerical homogenization" of thermoconvective heterogeneous systems. This kind of problem has received very little attention in the literature, despite its theoretical importance and numerous potential applications. In this study, we take the example of heterogeneous porous media for which the applications can be various such as geothermal structures or insulation systems. We propose and develop a numerical method for calculating natural convection flows inside such periodic heterogeneous porous structures.
