چکیده
This communication investigates the unsteady flow of viscous incompressible fluid through porous medium induced by periodically heated half filled concentric cylindrical annulus placed horizontally. The boundaries of the annulus are rotating periodically with different angular velocities in the same or opposite directions about their common axis. The governing equations are expressed in terms of stream function and vorticity functions. The analytical solutions have been obtained by expanding the variables in a power series of the annulus aspect ratio. The expressions for streamlines, temperature distribution and rate of heat transfer are obtained and the effects of various parameters upon them have been examined.

متن کاملNumerical Study of Unsteady Flow of Gas Through a Porous Medium By Means of Chebyshev Pseudo-Spectral Method
In this work, we first reformulate the unsteady flow of gas through a porous medium problem in [0,+∞) to a problem in [-1,1] by variable transformation μ = (x-s)/(x+s), and using spectral collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials to approximate the resulting problem. The comparison of the results obtained by this method with results obtained by other methods shows that this method provi...
متن کاملUnsteady free convection oscillatory couette flow through a variable porous medium with concentration profile
In this paper we have studied the effect of free convection on the heat transfer and flow through variable porous medium which is bounded by two vertical parallel porous plates. In this study it is assume that free stream velocity oscillates with time about a constant mean. Periodic temperature is considered in the moving plate. Effect of different parameters on mean flow velocity, Transient ve...
