Abstract

Heat transfer enhancement through porous media are of interest in many thermal applications. Forced convection through a triangular array of circular cylinders embedded in a fluid-saturated porous media has been investigated using extended Darcy Brinkman-Forchheimer momentum equations and Local Thermal Equilibrium (LTE) model. Detailed results are illustrated, for high permeability levels (Darcy number varied from 1/10³ to 1/10) and different cylinder spacings (0.7 ≤ φ ≤ 0.99) at Re = 100. It is anticipated that porous media would enhance heat transfer, but it emanates multiple order in pressure drop.
