Effect of suspended particles on thermosolutal convection in porous medium (Q1091900)

The thermosolute convection in porous medium has been considered by the authors. For a thermal Rayleigh number greater than or equal to the solute Rayleigh number, the principle of exchange of stabilities is valid. The oscillatory modes may effect the stability if the thermal Rayleigh number is less than the solute Rayleigh number. The suspended particles destabilize the fluid layer. The permeability of the medium and the stable solute gradient have destabilizing and stabilizing effects, respectively, on the system. The rotation stabilizes a certain wave number range in thermosolutal correction in porous medium, which were unstable in the absence of rotation.
