Investigation of Turbulent Natural Convection in Porous Media by using pore-scale-resolving Direct Numerical Simulations
simulations (DNS) of convection in porous media and comparing those to traditional DOB simulations (figure 1), we investigated whether natural convection in porous media is influenced by parameters other than [...] porous medium consisting out of four REVs. (b) DOB simulation. Turbulent natural convection in porous media receives more attention in recent years, especially due to its significance in new emerging engineering [...] aquifers or the usage of thermal-energy storage systems. For calculating natural convection in porous media, typically macroscopic equations are solved. The numerical solution of volume-averaged Darcy-Ober
