Extract

Consider an impermeable container Ω in ℝ3 filled with a porous material saturated with a Boussinesq fluid. The boundary ∂Ω of Ω consists of two parts Γ1 and Γ2, i. e., ∂Ω = Γ1 ⋃ Γ2. Γ1 is the intersection of the horizontal planes at z = 0 and z = 1 with a vertical cylinder of arbitrary cross section G (a bounded smooth domain in ℝ2), i.e., Γ1 = G × {0, 1}. Γ2 is the sidewall of the vertical cylinder between the planes z = 0 and z = l, i.e., Γ2Γ = ∂G × [0, 1].
