In this paper we have investigated the effect of throughflow on thermal convection in a viscoelastic fluid saturated porous media. The governing equations are modelled in the presence of throughflow. These equations are made dimensionless and the obtained nonlinear problem solved numerically. There are two types of throughflow effects on thermal instability inflow and outflow investigated by finite amplitude analysis. This finite amplitude equation is obtained using the complex Ginzburg-Landau amplitude equation (CGLE) for a weak nonlinear oscillatory convection. The heat transport analysis is given by complex Ginzburg-Landau amplitude equation (CGLE). The numerical results indicate that due to the non-uniform throughflow there is instability at the bottom plate and influence the heat transfer in the system. The vertical throughflow is having both stable and unstable modes depending on flow direction. The nature of viscoelastic fluid is having both effects either stabilize or destabilize. Further, it is found that the nonlinear throughflow effects have dual role on heat transport. The solutions of the present problem are obtained numerically by using Runge-Kutta fourth order method.

Weakly nonlinear stability analysis has been performed using the finite amplitude Ginzburg-Landau model. The layer is oscillating vertically in sinusoidal manner. Using the finite amplitude analysis heat mass/transfer is quantified in the system. The disturbances of the flow are expanded in power series of small parameter. In addition to the modulation, the effect of throughflow is discussed on heat/mass transfer in the system. The values of viscoelastic parameters are considered in this paper are λ1 > λ2 and Γ < 1 to validate the problem. The time relaxation parameter λ1 has destabilizing effect, while the time retardation parameter λ2 has stabilizing effect on the system. The effects of amplitude and frequency of modulation on heat/mass transports have been analyzed and depicted graphically. The studies establish that the heat/mass transports can be controlled effectively by g-jitter and throughflow. Further, it is found that better results may obtain for an oscillatory mode of convection.

In this article, a study on the stability of Walter-B viscoelastic fluid in the highly permeable porous medium under the rotational speed modulation is presented. The impact of rotational modulation on heat transport is performed through a weakly nonlinear analysis. A perturbation procedure based on the small amplitude of the perturbing parameter is used to study the combined effect of rotation and permeability on the stability through a porous medium. Rayleigh–Bénard convection with the Coriolis expression has been examined to explain the impact of rotation on the convective flow. The graphical result of different parameters like modified Prandtl number, Darcy number, Rayleigh number, and Taylor number on heat transfer have discussed. Furthermore, it is found that the modified Prandtl number decelerates the heat transport which may be due to the combined effect of elastic parameter and Taylor number.

AbstractThis paper investigates the weakly nonlinear stability of a thin axisymmetric viscoelastic fluid with hydromagnetic effects on coating flow. The governing equation is resolved using long-wave perturbation method as part of an initial value problem for spatial periodic surface waves with the Walter's liquid B type fluid. The most unstable linear mode of a film flow is determined by Ginzburg-Landau equation (GLE). The coefficients of the GLE are calculated numerically from the solution of the corresponding stability problem on coating flow. The effect of a viscoelastic fluid under an applied magnetic field on the nonlinear stability mechanism is studied in terms of the rotation number, Ro, viscoelastic parameter, k, and the Hartmann constant, m. Modeling results indicate that the Ro, k and m parameters strongly affect the film flow. Enhancing the magnetic effects is found to stabilize the film flow when the viscoelastic parameter destabilizes the one in a thin viscoelastic fluid.

A study of thermal instability driven by buoyancy force is carried out in an initially quiescent infinitely extended horizontal rotating fluid layer. The temperature at the boundaries has been taken to be time-periodic, governed by the sinusoidal function. A weakly nonlinear stability analysis has been performed for the oscillatory mode of convection, and heat transport in terms of the Nusselt number, which is governed by the complex form of Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGLE), is calculated. The influence of external controlling parameters such as amplitude and frequency of modulation on heat transfer has been investigated. The dual effect of rotation on the system for the oscillatory mode of convection is found either to stabilize or destabilize the system. The study establishes that heat transport can be controlled effectively by a mechanism that is external to the system. Further, the bifurcation analysis also presented and established that CGLE possesses the supercritical bifurcation.

The impact of vertical throughflow and g-jitter effect on rotating porous medium is investigated. A feeble nonlinear stability analysis associate to complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) has been studied. This weakly nonlinear analysis performed for a periodic mode of convection and quantified heat transport in terms of the Nusselt number, which is governed by the non-autonomous advanced CGLE. Each idea, rotation and throughflow is used as an external mechanism to the system either to extend or decrease the heat transfer. The results of amplitude and frequency of modulation on heat transport are analyzed and portrayed graphically. Throughflow has dual impact on heat transfer either to increase or decrease heat transfer in the system. Particularly the outflow enhances and inflow diminishes the heat transfer. High centrifugal rates promote heat transfer and low centrifugal rates diminish heat transfer. The streamlines and isotherms area portrayed graphically, the results of rotation and throughflow on isotherms shows convective development.

The effect of solutal modulation on a rotating porous media is studied. Using solvability condition, the finite amplitude equation is derived at third order of the system. A weakly nonlinear analysis is applied to investigate mass transfer in a porous medium. In this article, the stationary convection is discussed in the presence of solutal Rayleigh number. The amplitude equation (GLE) is solved numerically. Using this GLE the Sherwood number is evaluated in terms of the various system parameters. The effect of individual parameters on mass transport is discussed in detail. It is found that the mass transfer is more for modulated system than un-modulated case. Further, internal solute number Si enhance or diminishes the mass transfer. Finally it is also found that, solutal modulation can be effectively applied in either enhancing or diminishing the mass transfer.

Abstract The effect of vertical throughfow and temperature modulation on a viscoelastic fluid saturated porous medium has been investigated. The amplitudes of temperature modulation at the lower and upper surfaces are considered to be very small and the disturbances are expanded in terms of power series of amplitude of convection. A weak nonlinear stability analysis has been performed for the oscillatory mode of convection, and heat transport in terms of the Nusselt number, which is governed by the non autonomous complex Ginzburg- Landau equation, is calculated. The effect of vertical through flow is found to stabilize the system irrespective of the direction of through flow in the case of permeable boundary conditions. The time relaxation has a destabilizing effect, while the time retardation parameter has a stabilizing effect on the system. The effects of amplitude and frequency of modulation on heat transport have been analyzed and depicted graphically. The study shows that the heat transport can be controlled effectively by a mechanism that is external to the system. Further, it is also found that heat transfer is more in oscillatory mode of convection rather than in stationary mode of convection.

AbstractA weakly nonlinear thermal instability is investigated under rotation speed modulation. Using the perturbation analysis, a nonlinear physical model is simplified to determine the convective amplitude for oscillatory mode. A non-autonomous complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for the finite amplitude of convection is derived based on a small perturbed parameter. The effect of rotation is found either to stabilize or destabilize the system. The Nusselt number is obtained numerically to present the results of heat transfer. It is found that modulation has a significant effect on heat transport for lower values of ωf while no effect for higher values. It is also found that modulation can be used alternately to control the heat transfer in the system. Further, oscillatory mode enhances heat transfer rather than stationary mode.

AbstractThe present paper deals with a weakly nonlinear stability problem under an imposed time-periodic thermal modulation. The temperature has two parts: a constant part and an externally imposed time-dependent part. We focus on stationary convection using the slow time scale and quantify convective amplitude through the real Ginzburg-Landau equation (GLE). We have used the classical fourth order Runge-Kutta method to solve the real Ginzburg-Landau equation. The effect of various parameters on heat transport is discussed through GLE. It is found that heat transport analysis is controlled by suitably adjusting the frequency and amplitude of modulation. The applied magnetic field (effect of Ha) is to diminish the heat transfer in the system. Three different types of modulations thermal, gravity, and magnetic field have been compared. It is concluded that thermal modulation is more effective than gravity and magnetic modulation. The magnetic modulation stabilizes more and gravity modulation stabilizes partially than thermal modulation.

We have investigated the study of double diffusive stationary convection in the presence of applied magnetic field and internal heating. A weakly nonlinear stability analysis has been performed using the finite amplitude Ginzburg-Landau model. This finite amplitude of convection is obtained at third order of the system. It is assumed that the buoyancy term has two parts, steady and oscillatory parts. The second part is varying sinusoidally with time and vibrates the system with finite amplitude δ1 and frequency ω. The effects of δ1 and on heat/mass transports have been analysed and depicted graphically. The studies are established that the heat/mass transports can be controlled effectively by gravity modulation. Further, it is found that internal Rayleigh number Ri is to enhance heat transfer and reduces the mass transfer in the system.
