Upper Limits to the Complex Growth Rates in Triply Diffusive Convection in Porous Medium
Subscribe/Renew Journal
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.
