Journal Article
Harfash, A. J., & Hill, A. A. (2014). Simulation of three dimensional double-diffusive throughflow in internally heated anisotropic porous media. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 72, 609-615. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2014.01.048

A model for double-diffusive convection in an anisotropic porous layer with a constant throughflow is explored, with penetrative convection being simulated via an internal heat source. The validity of both the linear instability and global nonlinear... Read More about Simulation of three dimensional double-diffusive throughflow in internally heated anisotropic porous media.

Stabilising solar ponds by utilising porous materials (2013)
Journal Article

The linear instability of a solar pond containing porous material in the lower convective zone (LCZ) is investigated. It is found that, in general, for physically realistic values, solar ponds that contain porous material are more stable than ones th...

The stability of a binary viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer which is heated from below is studied, where the fluid and solid phases are not in local thermal equilibrium. The modified Darcy-Oldroyd model is employed as a momentum equation, wit...
