Bidispersive thermal convection with relatively large macropores and generalized velocity and temperature boundary conditions
In a fluid-saturated bidisperse porous medium at a single temperature, the issue of thermal convection when the Darcy theory is used in the micropores, particularly the effects of slip boundary conditions on the model stability, was examined (whereas the Brinkman theory is used in the macropores).

Zusammenfassung: | In a fluid-saturated bidisperse porous medium at a single temperature, the issue of thermal convection when the Darcy theory is used in the micropores, particularly the effects of slip boundary conditions on the model stability, was examined (whereas the Brinkman theory is used in the macropores). In addition, the effect of general temperature boundary conditions was also addressed. The governing equations of motion are provided, followed by the way in which the related equations of perturbation were derived. In addition, the linear instability and nonlinear stability analyses of the system were introduced, with the numerical approach used to approximate the eigenvalue system resulting from our analysis. The threshold for linear instability was proved to be the same as the one for nonlinear stability, showing that the linear theory accurately captures the mechanism of the onset of thermal convection. The numerical results for stability/instability thresholds were also introduced. The researchers assumed that this was the first time a mixed Darcy–Brinkman model had been used in bidisperse flow with slip boundary conditions. |
