Convection with temperature dependent viscosity in a porous medium: nonlinear stability and the Brinkman effect.

Lorna Richardson, Brian Straughan (1993)

We establish a nonlinear energy stability theory for the problem of convection in a porous medium when the viscosity depends on the temperature. This is, in fact, the situation which is true in real life and has many applications to geophysics. The nonlinear analysis presented here would appear to require the presence of a Brinkman term in the momentum equation, rather than just the normal form of Darcy's law.

Convective Instability of Reaction Fronts in Porous Media

K. Allali, A. Ducrot, A. Taik, V. Volpert (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We study the influence of natural convection on stability of reaction fronts in porous media. The model consists of the heat equation, of the equation for the depth of conversion and of the equations of motion under the Darcy law. Linear stability analysis of the problem is fulfilled, the stability boundary is found. Direct numerical simulations are performed and compared with the linear stability analysis.
