Abstract:The present paper decribes numerical analytical results of natural convection in a closed cavity partially filled with porous medium by means of Forchheimer-Brinkman model. The effects of heated rate,permeability,height of porous region,heat conduction coefficients and aspect ratio on flow and heat transfar in the cavity are systematically investigated. Velocity and temperature fields in the cavity are given and dependence of average Nu on time is obtained.
