Stability analysis of a porous layer heated from below and subjected to low frequency vibration: Frozen time analysis
We investigate the convection amplitude in an infinite porous layer subjected to a vibration body force that is collinear with the gravitational acceleration and heated from below. The analysis focuses on the specific case of low frequency vibration where the frozen time approximation is used. The results reveal that for moderate Vadasz numbers, increasing the magnitude of the acceleration stabilizes the convection. The results of the large Vadasz number analysis reveals that the acceleration plays a passive role in the stability of convection and the classical stability criteria for Rayleigh-Benard convection applies.
