By using the mathematical formalism of absolute and convective instabilities, we study in this work the nature of unstable three-dimensional localized disturbances at the onset of convection in a flow in a saturated homogeneous porous medium with inclined temperature gradient and vertical throughflow. It is shown that for marginally supercritical values of the vertical Rayleigh numberRvthe destabilization has the character of absolute instability in all the cases in which the horizontal Rayleigh numberRhis zero or the Péclet numberQvis zero. In all the cases in whichRhandQvare both different from zero, at the onset of convection the instability is convective. In the latter cases, the growing emerging disturbance has locally the structure of a non-oscillatory longitudinal roll, and its group velocity points in the direction opposite the direction of the applied horizontal temperature gradient, i.e. parallel to the axis of the roll. The speed of propagation of the unstable wavepacket increases withQvand generally increases withRh.

Inclined Temperature Gradient

The convective instability of a horizontal fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer, with internal heat source and inclined temperature gradient, subject to a gravity field varying with distance in the layer, is investigated. A linear stability analysis is performed and the resulting eigenvalue problem solved using a Galerkin technique. In the absence of an inclined temperature gradient, an increase in the variable gravity parameter above −1 destabilizes the system. In its presence interesting developments occur. An increase in the heat generation destabilizes the system when the variable gravity parameter is nonnegative. When it is negative the opposite effect is seen.

The stability of a two-layer return thermocapillary flow in the presence of an inclined temperature gradient is investigated. Both a linear stability analysis and nonlinear simulations have been performed for an air–water system. It is found that a rather weak deviation of the mean temperature gradient from the vertical direction suppresses Pearson's instability mechanism and leads to the appearance of oblique hydrothermal waves. In a certain region of parameters, transverse convective rolls drifting with the mean flow appear.
