Penetrative convection via internal heating in anisotropic porous media (2010)
Journal Article

Penetrative convection in an anisotropic porous medium is simulated via internal heating. We consider both internal heat sources and sinks, where the porous medium has constant anisotropic thermal diffusivity and non-homogeneous permeability. Both li...
