Studies of the transient heat transfer past a circular cylinder in a steady-state viscous flow are presented for some fluid saturated fibrous porous media. Numerical results have been obtained according to the Darcy-Brinkman model by means of the finite element method. Analysis of the influence of the Darcy and Peclet numbers on the mean Nusselt number exhibits the successive conduction, transition and convection regimes. The duration necessary to reach the steady-state convection heat transfer appears as a function of the Peclet and Darcy numbers.
