Abstract

The convective instability that arises in a porous layer solely because of dissipative energy in the medium is studied. The thermal non-equilibrium model is considered for energy equation. The boundary at top is kept at constant temperature, and an adiabatic lower boundary is considered. The momentum equation is written according to the Brinkman model. A basic flow in the horizontal plane is considered, and the basic velocity and temperature profile have been derived. A comparison between the basic temperature profiles for solid and fluid of the porous medium is presented for Darcy and Brinkman models. Infinitesimal disturbance is introduced to the basic flow. A linear stability analysis has been carried out to study the stability of the basic flow. The parameters influencing the stability of the system are critical Rayleigh number (RaC), Gebhart number (Ge), ξ associated with the Darcy number (Da), and interphase heat transfer coefficient (H). The values of the critical Rayleigh number and wavenumber are compared by varying other variables. The flow is more stable when the Brinkman medium is considered. With the increase in interphase heat transfer coefficient, the critical Rayleigh number increases in both Darcy and Brinkman media. The longitudinal rolls appear as the most unstable rolls for all cases. The variation of convective rolls with respect to ξ and heat transfer coefficient is presented.
