A comment on a recent paper about the combined effects of radiation and viscous dissipation on the convection in an annular porous enclosure has raised the problem of the role played by the viscous dissipation and the pressure work contributions in buoyant flows. The aim of this further comment is to show that the criticism expressed by Costa on the model of the viscous dissipation effect employed in the paper by Badruddin and co-workers is unjustified.

Abstract
A comment on a recent paper about the combined effects of radiation and viscous dissipation on the convection in an annular porous enclosure has raised the problem of the role played by the viscous dissipation and the pressure work contributions in buoyant flows. The aim of this further comment is to show that the criticism expressed by Costa on the model of the viscous dissipation effect employed in the paper by Badruddin and co-workers is unjustified.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
