The Brinkman model for natural convection in a porous layer: effects of nonuniform thermal gradient.

Author(s) : VASSEUR P., ROBILLARD L.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The effects of non-linear temperature distribution on stability and natural convection in a horizontal porous layer, with heating from below, were investigated using the Brinkman model. The horizontal boundaries were either rigid/rigid, rigid/stress-free, or stress-free/stress-free. Constant-flux thermal boundary conditions were considered for which the onset of convection is known to correspond to a vanishingly small wavenumber.
