The linear stability of triply diffusive convection in a binary Maxwell fluid saturated porous layer is investigated. Applying normal mode analysis , the criterion for the onset of stationary and oscillatory convection is obtained. The modified Darcy-Maxwell model is used as the analysis model. This allows us to make a thorough investigation of the processes of viscoelasticity and diffusions that causes the convection to set in through oscillatory rather than stationary. The effects of the parameters of Vadasz number, normalized porosity parameter, relaxation parameter, Lewis number and solute Rayleigh number are presented.

The stability of a horizontal porous layer bounded by two impermeable planes is investigated. A time dependent periodic temperature profile is imposed on the lower boundary while the upper plane is kept at constant temperature. Starting from the preconvective temperature distribution, and using the linear stability theory, a criterion for the onset of convection is defined as a function of the perturbation wavenumber and of the amplitude and frequency of the temperature oscillation. Experimental work with a setup allowing both the amplitude and the frequency of the thermal signal to vary is done. Finally, the equations are also solved numerically and the results are compared to the previous ones. A synthesis of all results is included.
