Abstract
Thermally-driven convection in fluid-saturated porous media is of considerable interest in a variety of geophysical and technological problems. There are important applications in geothermal energy utilisation, oil reservoir modelling, building thermal insulation, nuclear waste disposals and chemical catalytic converters, to name but a few.
