Abstract
The problem of fully developed forced convection in a parallel-plates channel filled with a saturated porous medium (involving a Brinkman model for the momentum equation), with the effect of viscous dissipation (involving a Brinkman number), is discussed. Some general matters relating to the possibility of fully developed convection are also discussed.
