Significance of the natural convection to the heat transfer of porous media: a pore-scale study

Heat conduction in porous media is generally accompanied by the natural convection of the fluid within the pores driven by the temperature gradient. However, the criterion to determine the critical pore size of porous media where the natural convection cannot be neglected remains elusive. In this st...
