The paper mathematically establishes that the complex growth rate (pr,pi ) of an arbitrary neutral or unstable oscillatory perturbation of growing amplitude, in a triply diffusive fluid layer in porous medium (Darcy Model) with one of the components as heat with diffusivity , must lie inside a semicircle in the right- half of the (pr,pi)-plane whose centre is origin and radius equals √(R1+<R2)σ where R1 and R2 are the Raleigh numbers for the two concentration components with diffusivities k1 and k2 (with no loss of generality, k > k1> k2 ) and is the Prandtl number. Further, it is proved that above result is uniformly valid for quite general nature of the bounding surfaces.

Abstract


The paper mathematically establishes that the complex growth rate (pr,pi ) of an arbitrary neutral or unstable oscillatory perturbation of growing amplitude, in a triply diffusive fluid layer in porous medium (Darcy Model) with one of the components as heat with diffusivity , must lie inside a semicircle in the right- half of the (pr,pi)-plane whose centre is origin and radius equals √(R1+<R2)σ where R1 and R2 are the Raleigh numbers for the two concentration components with diffusivities k1 and k2 (with no loss of generality, k > k1> k2 ) and is the Prandtl number. Further, it is proved that above result is uniformly valid for quite general nature of the bounding surfaces.
