Turbulence in porous media [recurso electrónico] modeling and applications

'Turbulence in Porous Media' introduces the reader to the characterisation of turbulent flow, heat and mass transfer in permeable media, including analytical data and a review of available experimental data. Such transport processes occurring a relatively high velocity in permeable media are present in a number of engineering and natural flows. This new edition features a completely updated text including two new chapters exploring Turbulent Combustion and Moving Porous Media. De Lemos has expertly brought together a text that compiles, details, compares and evaluates available methodologies for modelling and simulating flow, providing an essential tour for engineering students working within the field as well as those working in chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, and geological and environmental sciences. * Brings together groundbreaking and complex research on turbulence in porous media * Extends the original model to situations including reactive systems * Now discusses movement of the porous matrix Content: Front-matter , Pages i,iii Copyright , Page iv Dedication , Page v Preface to the First Edition , Pages xiii-xiv , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos Preface to the Second Edition , Pages xv-xvi , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos Overview , Pages xvii-xviii List of Figures , Pages xix-xxx List of Tables , Pages xxxi-xxxii Nomenclature , Pages xxxiii-xxxviii 1 - Introduction , Pages 3-18 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 2 - Governing Equations , Pages 19-26 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 3 - The Double-Decomposition Concept , Pages 27-32 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 4 - Turbulent Momentum Transport , Pages 33-53 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 5 - Turbulent Heat Transport , Pages 55-90 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 6 - Turbulent Mass Transport , Pages 91-111 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 7 - Turbulent Double Diffusion , Pages 113-120 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 8 - Turbulent Combustion , Pages 121-132 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 9 - Moving Porous Media , Pages 133-140 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 10 - Numerical Modeling and Algorithms , Pages 143-198 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos 11 - Applications in Hybrid Media , Pages 199-352 , Marcelo J.S. de Lemos References , Pages 353-371
