Abstract:Flow acceleration by imposing flow channelization structures like chimneys and/or solid barriers to improve natural convection cooling in pure fluids, is a well-known technique and a thoroughly investigated topic in thermal engineering. However, accelerating flow through porous media, by using such a passive technique, is challenging due to restriction imposed by the solid matrix to the erection of such structures. This study is a unique investigation into a passive method to accelerate flow in natural convect… Show more
