Abstract: | Some algebraically explicit analytical solutions are derived for the anisotropic Brinkman model-an improved Darcy model-describing the natural convection in porous media. Besides their important theoretical meaning (for example, to analyze the non-Darcy and anisotropic effects on the convection), such analytical solutions can be the benchmark solutions to promoting the development of computational heat and mass transfer. For instance, we can use them to check the accuracy, convergence and effectiveness of various numerical computational methods and to improve numerical calculation skills such as differential schemes and grid generation ways. |
