Abstract
The problem of natural convection in porous media is being investigated utilising a Boundary Domain Integral Method. The Brinkman equation (Brinkman- extended Darcy formulation with inertia! term included), which allows the no-slip boundary condition to be satisfied, is used as the starting momentum equation. With the inclusion of the continuity and energy equations the obtained set of governed non-linear partial differential equations allows the transport phenomena of natural convection in homogeneous isotropic non-deformable porous media, saturated with single phase Newtonian fluid, to be conveniently studied. The purpose of this work is to present flow and
