Linear stability analysis is performed for the onset of thermosolutal convection in a horizontal fluid layer with rigid-rigid boundaries. The temperature field between the walls of the fluid layer consists of two parts: a steady part and a time-dependent periodic part that oscillates with time. Only infinitesimal disturbances are considered. The effect of temperature modulation on the onset of thermosolutal convection has been studied using the Galerkin method and Floquet theory. The critical Rayleigh number is calculated as a function of frequency and amplitude of modulation, Prandtl number, diffusivity ratio and solute Rayleigh number. Stabilizing and destabilizing effects of modulation on the onset of double diffusive convection have been obtained. The effects of the diffusivity ratio and solute Rayleigh number on the stability of the system are also discussed.

Double Diffusive

Double diffusive convection in a horizontal layer of Maxwell viscoelastic fluid in a porous medium in the presence of temperature gradient (Soret effects) and concentration gradient (Dufour effects) is investigated. For the porous medium Darcy model is considered. A linear stability analysis based upon normal mode technique is used to study the onset of instabilities of the Maxwell viscolastic fluid layer confined between two free-free boundaries. Rayleigh number on the onset of stationary and oscillatory convection has been derived and graphs have been plotted to study the effects of the Dufour parameter, Soret parameter, Lewis number, and solutal Rayleigh number on stationary convection.
