The linear stability of convection in a vertical two-layer porous structure representing a building external wall is studied. The wall is confined by two open vertical boundaries kept at different but uniform temperatures and is composed of two homog...
Salt crystallization is one of the main decay processes in historic masonry mortars, and climate change can worsen the salt weathering effects on those materials as result of, e.g., more often rain falls, more intense solar radiation and sea level ri...
Pleural effusion is an interruption of a pleural cavity in the lung wall. The lung and chest wall reversal process leads to pleural fluid aggregation in the pleural space. The parietal lymphatic expansion occurs because of increased pleural fluid. Th...
This article deals with steady-state laminar, electrically conducting immiscible fluids. The Newtonian fluid considered passes between two parallel vertical plates in a porous medium. The channel consists of two regions, one of them filled with engin...
Building energy consumption in hot arid climates is dominated by air conditioning use. Therefore, using passive cooling methods could reduce this demand, improve resource efficiency, and decrease carbon emissions. In this study, an innovative configu...
Passive flow control methods are widely used to reduce drag in wall-bounded flows. A recent numerical study on separating turbulent flows over a bump covered with shark denticles revealed the formation of a reverse pore flow (RPF) beneath the denticl...
