This Book concentrates the available knowledge on rotating fluid flow and heat transfer in
porous media in one single reference. Dr. Vadasz develops the fundamental theory of rotating
flow and heat transfer in porous media and introduces systematic classification and
identification of the relevant problems. An initial distinction between rotating flows in
isothermal heterogeneous porous systems and natural convection in homogeneous non--isothermal
porous systems provides the two major classes of problems to be considered. A few examples of
solutions to selected problems are presented highlighting the significant impact of rotation
on the flow in porous media.
