Effects of Quadratic Drag and Through flow on the onset of Darcy-BѐNARD Convection in a Porous Layer using a Thermal Nonequilibrium Model
Abstract
The effects of LTNE and throughflow on the criterion for the onset of convection in a horizontal porous layer are
investigated when the solid and fluid phases are not in local thermal equilibrium. A two field model that represents the fluid
and solid phase temperature fields separately is used for energy equation. The shooting method combined with Runge-Kuatta
method is used to obtain the eigenvalue equation, which is then solved numerically. It is noted that throughflow has a
stabilizing effect on the stability of the system have the effect of delaying the onset of convection and reducing the size of
convection cells. In addition, the influence of parameters representing the thermal non-equilibrium effects on convective
instability is discussed in detail.
