Abstract

A linear stability analysis is performed for monodiffusive convection in an anisotropic rotating porous medium with temperature-dependent viscosity. The Galerkin technique is used to obtain the eigen value of the problem. The effect of Taylor number (both small and large values) and the other parameters of the problem is considered for both stationary and oscillatory convection in the presence and absence of non-inertial acceleration. Some new results on the parameters’ influence on convection in the presence of rotation, for both high and low rotation rates, are presented. Low-porosity medium results are also discussed for constant viscosity liquids.
