We analyze analytically the effects of anisotropy in permeability and that of a transverse magnetic field on thermal convection in a porous medium saturated with a binary fluid and confined in a horizontal cavity. The porous medium, of great extension, is subjected to various conditions at the thermal and solutal boundaries. The axes of the permeability tensor are oriented obliquely with respect to the gravitational field. Based on a scale analysis, the velocity, temperature, and heat and mass transfer rate fields were determined. These results were validated by the study of borderline cases which are: pure porous media and pure fluid media discussed in the literature. It emerges from this study that the anisotropy parameters influence the convective flow. The application of a transverse magnetic field significantly reduces the speed of the flow and thereby affects the temperature field and the rate of heat and mass transfer.

This study is concerned with both hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic unsteady slow flows of two immiscible visco-elastic fluids of Rivlin-Ericksen type between two porous parallel nonconducting plates inclined at a certain angle to the horizontal. The exact solutions for the velocity fields, skin frictions, and the interface velocity distributions are found for both fluid models. Numerical results are presented in graphs. A comparison is made between the hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic velocity profiles. It is shown that the velocity is diminished due to the presence of a transverse magnetic field.
