Thermal Convection in a Model Porous Medium,

Abstract

The velocity field generated by thermal convection in a model porous medium is experimentally determined by means of both PIV and LDA techniques. Details of matching refraction index under non isothermal conditions and some preliminary results are given. (Author)
