    Abstract: Natural convection in a square porous cavity under sinusoidal g-jitter has been studied for hydro dynamically and thermally anisotropic porous media. The difference with the homogeneous porous media under sinusoidal g-jitter with the anisotropic porous medium under sinusoidal g-jitter is the circulation pattern change. Fluid flow aligns with the po... Show More
