Over the last three decades, advances in modeling flow, heat, and mass transfer through a porous medium have dramatically transformed engineering applications. Comprehensive and cohesive, "Handbook of Porous Media, Second Edition" presents a compilation of research related to heat and mass transfer including the development of practical applications for analysis and design of engineering devices and systems involving porous media.This second edition features: recent studies related to current and future challenges and developments in fundamental aspects of porous media; combustion and heat transfer in inert porous media; modeling bioconvection in porous media; influence of vibrations on the onset of the thermo-convection; modeling porous media impairment by particles; modeling liquid composites molding processes; parameter identification within a porous medium using genetic algorithms; viscous dissipation; forced and double diffusive convection in porous media; turbulent flow; dispersion; particle migration and deposition in porous media; and, dynamic modeling of convective transport through porous media.Completely revised, updated, and reviewed by experts in the field, each chapter includes, whenever applicable, a discussion of the pertinent aspects of experimental work or numerical techniques. Generously illustrated with 262 black and white illustrations, 15 tables, and 1,865 equations, the book is a rigorous and thorough working reference.
