abstract

in this paper, the combined effect of suspended (fine dust) particles and rotation on the onset of thermosolutal convection in an elastico-viscous fluid in a porous medium is studied. for the porous medium, the brinkman model is employed and rivlin-ericksen model is used to characterize viscoelastic fluid. by applying normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation has been derived and solved analytically. it is observed that the rotation, stable solute gradient, suspended particles, gravity field and viscoelasticity introduce oscillatory modes. for stationary convection, it is observed that the rotation, stable solute gradient have a stabilizing effect and suspended particles have a destabilizing effect on the system whereas darcy number and medium permeability have stabilizing/destabilizing effects under certain conditions. the effects of rotation, stable solute gradient, suspended particles, darcy number and medium permeability have also been shown graphically.

Thermosolutal Convection of Micropolar Rotating Fluids Saturating a Porous Medium

Double-diffusive convection in a micropolar fluid layer heated and soluted from below in the presence of uniform rotation saturating a porous medium is theoretically investigated. An exact solution is obtained for a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries. To study the onset of convection, a linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been used. For the ...

Weakly non-linear magneto-convection in a viscoelastic fluid saturating a porous medium

In this paper the effect of magnetic field on linear and non-linear thermal instability in an anisotropic porous medium saturated with viscoelastic fluid is considered. Normal mode technique is used to investigate the linear stability analysis, while non-linear stability has been done using minimal representation of truncated Fourier series involving only two terms. Extended Darcy model, which ...
