Abstract
Natural convection in a vertical porous bed heated from the side was investigated numerically for the case where mass transfer occurs between the bed and the surroundings. On the permeable part of the boundary we assign conditions of the first or second kind for the pressure, which corresponds to a free surface or a thin permeable skin. We obtained information about the structure and regimes of steady convection in the bed and the dependences of the mean and local heat-transfer characteristics on the Rayleigh number. The results are compared with the results of [1–3].
