   Abstract:
   Two basic geometries are considered: horizontal layer confined between two adiabatic and impermeable parallel plates, and horizontal cylinder surrounded by an adiabatic and impermeable cylindrical surface. Nusselt number relations are derived in terms of the Rayleigh number and the cavity aspect ratio. The end-wall permeability is shown to affect the heat transfer rate through the medium.
