Turbulence in Porous Media

'Turbulence in Porous Media' introduces the reader to the characterisation of turbulent flow, heat and mass transfer in permeable media, including analytical data and a review of available experimental data. Such transport processes occurring a relatively high velocity in permeable media, are present in a number of engineering and natural flows. De Lemos has managed to compile, detail, compare and evaluate available methodologies for modelling simulating purposes, providing an essential tour for engineering students working within the field.- The hotly debated topic of heterogeneity and flow turbulence has never before been addressed in book format. - Offers an experimental approach to turbulence in porous media as it discusses disciplines that have been traditionally developed apart from each other.The hotly debated topic of heterogeneity and flow turbulence has never before been addressed in book format.Offers an experimental approach to turbulence in porous media as it discusses disciplines that have been traditionally developed apart from each other.

Marcelo J.S. de Lemos is a renowned mechanical engineer and Full Professor at the Aeronautical Institute of Technology - ITA in Brazil. He holds a Bachelor's and MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ) and obtained his PhD from Purdue University, USA. With expertise in computational thermo-fluid dynamics, his research focuses on heat and mass transfer in permeable media, gas turbines, renewable energy systems, and modeling of thermochemical systems. Marcelo has published over 360 articles, including books and book chapters, and has advised numerous PhD and MSc students. He is recognized as a Fellow by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and serves on the editorial boards of esteemed journals. Marcelo's contributions extend globally through research collaborations and consulting roles with prominent organizations in the field of engineering and energy.
