We obtain the linear instability and nonlinear stability thresholds for a problem of thermal convection in a rotating bidispersive porous medium with a single temperature. We show that the linear instability threshold is the same as the nonlinear stability one. This means that the linear theory is capturing completely the physics of the onset of thermal convection.

This paper investigates the instability thresholds and global nonlinear stability bounds for thermal convection in a fluid overlying a highly porous material. A two-layer approach is adopted, where the Darcy–Brinkman equation is employed to describe the fluid flow in the porous medium. An excellent agreement is found between the linear instability and unconditional nonlinear stability thresholds, demonstrating that the linear theory accurately emulates the physics of the onset of convection.

This paper investigates thermal convection in an anisotropic bidisperse porous medium. A bidisperse porous medium is one which possesses the usual pores, but in addition, there are cracks or fissures in the solid skeleton and these give rise to a second porosity known as micro porosity. The novelty of this paper is that the macro permeability and the micro permeability are each diagonal tensors but the three components in the vertical and in the horizontal directions may be distinct in both the macro and micro phases. Thus, there are six independent permeability coefficients. A linear instability analysis is presented and a fully nonlinear stability analysis is inferred. Several Rayleigh number and wavenumber calculations are presented and it is found that novel cell structures are predicted which are not present in the single porosity case.

Abstract The onset of thermal convection in an anisotropic horizontal porous layer heated from below and rotating about vertical axis, under local thermal non-equilibrium hypothesis is studied. Linear and nonlinear stability analysis of the conduction solution is performed. Coincidence between the linear instability and the global nonlinear stability thresholds with respect to the L2—norm is proved. Article Highlights A necessary and sufficient condition for the onset of convection in a rotating anisotropic porous layer has been obtained. It has been proved that convection can occur only through a steady motion. A detailed proof is reported thoroughly. Numerical analysis shows that permeability promotes convection, while thermal conductivities and rotation stabilize conduction.

A rigorous nonlinear stability result is derived by introducing a suitable generalized energy functional for a magnetized ferrofluid layer heated and soluted from below with magnetic-field-dependent (MFD) viscosity saturating a porous medium, in the stress-free boundary case. The mathematical emphasis is on how to control the nonlinear terms caused by the magnetic-body and inertia forces. For ferrofluids, we find that there is possibility of existence of subcritical instabilities, however, it is noted that, in case of a non-ferrofluid, the global nonlinear stability Rayleigh number is exactly the same as that for linear instability. For lower values of magnetic parameters, this coincidence is immediately lost. The effect of the magnetic parameter, M3; solute gradient, Sf; Darcy number, Da; and MFD viscosity parameter, δ; on the subcritical instability region has also been analyzed.

Stability Threshold

A bidispersive porous material is one which has usual pores but additionally contains a system of micro pores due to cracks or fissures in the solid skeleton. We present general equations for thermal convection in a bidispersive porous medium when the permeabilities, interaction coefficient and thermal conductivity are anisotropic but symmetric tensors. In this case, we show exchange of stabilities holds and fluid movement will commence via stationary convection, and additionally we show the global nonlinear stability threshold is the same as the linear instability one. Attention is then focused on the case where the interaction coefficient and thermal conductivity are isotropic, and the permeability is isotropic in the horizontal directions, although the permeability in the vertical direction is different. The nonlinear stability threshold is calculated in this case and numerical results are presented and discussed in detail.

AbstractThe onset of natural convection in a fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer, which rotates about the vertical axis, under the hypothesis of local thermal non-equilibrium, is analysed. Since the porosity of the medium is assumed to be high, the more suitable Darcy-Brinkman model is adopted. Linear instability analysis of the conduction solution is carried out. Nonlinear stability with respect to $$L^2$$ L 2 -norm is performed in order to prove the coincidence between the linear instability and the global nonlinear stability thresholds. The effect of both rotation and thermal and mechanical anisotropies on the critical Rayleigh number for the onset of instability is discussed.

AbstractA model for thermal convection with generalized friction is investigated. It is shown that the linear instability threshold is the same as the global stability one. In addition, decay of the energy in the $$L^2$$ L 2 norm is shown for the perturbation velocity and temperature fields. However, due to the presence of the generalized friction we establish exponential decay in the $$L^{\beta +1}$$ L β + 1 norm for the perturbation temperature, where $$\beta >1$$ β > 1 .

AbstractThermal convection in a horizontally isotropic bi-disperse porous medium (BDPM) uniformly heated from below is analysed. The combined effects of uniform vertical rotation and Brinkman law on the stability of the steady state of the momentum equations in a BDPM are investigated. Linear and nonlinear stability analysis of the conduction solution is performed, and the coincidence between linear instability and nonlinear stability thresholds in the $$L^2$$ L 2 -norm is obtained.
