... through porous media boundary layers thermal diffusion channel flow The phenomenon of natural convection, induced by two sources of buoyancy, through porous media has been recently studied extensively due to its importance in many natural and industrial problems (see for instance 1 2 3...

...Charles-Guobing Jiang; M. Ziad Saghir; M. Kawaji Thermal diffusion, or Soret effect, in porous media is mathematically modeled with the Firoozabadi model based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The Soret effect in a binary mixture is investigated in a vertical cavity with heterogeneous...

... of the stream function and vorticity method and the finite-volume technique. An enlarged computational domain is employed to take into account the flow and thermal diffusion effects. Results are presented in terms of velocity and temperature profiles. The investigation also focuses on the flow and thermal...

... (elementary Soret cell, beam deflection technique, thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering technique, convective coupling and, in particular, the onset of convection in horizontal layers and the thermogravitational method). Results are provided for several systems, with both negative and positive Soret...
