Rayleigh-Benard convection in a binary fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer with variable viscosity effect

Rayleigh-Benard convection due to buoyancy that occurred in a horizontal binary fluid layer saturated anisotropic porous media is investigated numerically. The system is heated from below and cooled from above. The temperature-dependent viscosity effect was applied to the double-diffusive binary flu...

Description
Summary:Rayleigh-Benard convection due to buoyancy that occurred in a horizontal binary fluid layer saturated anisotropic porous media is investigated numerically. The system is heated from below and cooled from above. The temperature-dependent viscosity effect was applied to the double-diffusive binary fluid and the critical Rayleigh number for free-free, rigid-free, and rigid-rigid representing the lower-upper boundary were obtained by using the single-term Galerkin expansion procedure. Both boundaries are conducted to temperature. The effect of temperature-dependent viscosity, mechanical anisotropy, thermal anisotropy, Soret, and Dufour parameters on the onset of stationary convection are discussed and shown graphically. © 2022 The Authors.
