On some transport phenomena problems in porous media flow

3^rd International Conference on Hydrology & Meteorology

September 15-16, 2014 Hyderabad International Convention Centre, India

Pradyumna Ghosh

Scientific Tracks Abstracts: Hydrol Current Res

Abstract :

The Seminar will address different transport phenomena problems and the author has made an effort to solve either numerically or experimentally. The basket of these transport problems includes ?Thermal convection in porous media?, ?Viscous fingering in porous media?, Micro-macro interaction in an anisotropic porous media flow-A Lattice Boltzman Approach. Last but not the least a unified approach will be discussed to analyze hydrology related transport phenomenon problem.
