Soret Dufour Driven Thermosolutal Instability of Darcy-maxwell Fluid
Authors
Abstract:
Linear stability of double diffusive convection of Darcy-Maxwell fluid with Soret and Dufour effects is investigated. The effects of the Soret and Dufour numbers, Lewis number, relaxation time and solutal Darcy Rayleigh number on the stationary and oscillatory convection are presented graphically. The Dufour number enhances the stability of Darcy-Maxwell fluid for stationary convection while it has a stabilizing character for overstability. The Soret number is to destabilize the system in case of both stationary and oscillatory modes. In the limiting case some previous results have been recovered.

Soret and Dufour Effects on Mixed Convection in a Non-Darcy Micropolar Fluid
The Soret and Dufour effects on the steady, laminar mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a micropolar fluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium with heat and mass flux conditions are investigated. The non-linear governing equations and their associated boundary conditions are initially cast into dimensionless forms using similarity transformatio...

Abstract. In this paper, the Soret and Dufour effects on the steady, laminar mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium saturated with micropolar fluid are studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations. The local similarity solutions of the transformed dimensionle...
full textOnset of convection in Soret-driven instability.
It is common knowledge that light fluids rise while heavy fluids sink in the gravity field. The most obvious case is the isothermal Rayleigh-Taylor instability when a heavy fluid is placed on top of a light one. In the nonisothermal case, while heating from above, the density stratification is stable in a pure liquid. However, unstable density stratification might be established in a binary mix...
full textOn the Onset of Thermosolutal Instability in a Layer of an Elastico- Viscous Nanofluid in Porous Medium
The thermosolutal instability problem in a horizontal layer of an elasticoviscous nanofluid in porous medium is considered. Walters’ (model B') fluid model is employed to describe the rheological behavior of the nanofluid and for the porous medium, the Darcy model is employed. From the linear stability analysis based upon normal modes analysis method, the dispersion relation accounting for the ...

The effects of double diffusive natural convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a power-law fluid saturated Darcy porous medium in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects are studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically. A parametric study of t...

Three-dimensional time-dependent numerical calculations are performed in a cubic cell filled with a binary mixture of water (90%) and isopropanol (10%). The system is heated from above while the Soret coe‰cient ðSTÞ is negative, i.e., a thermally stable Rayleigh–Benard configuration. Due to the Soret e¤ect, the heavier liquid is accumulated on the top of the lighter one and buoyant convection c...
