An accurate numerical analysis for the onset of thermal convection in a twolayer system is presented. The system comprises a saturated porous layer over which lies a layer of the same fluid. The layered system is heated from below, the upper (fluid) surface is free to the atmosphere, and convection

The paper deals with the criterion for the onset of surface tension-driven convection in the presence of temperature gradients in a two-layer system comprising a fluid saturated anisotropic porous layer over which lies a layer of fluid. The lower rigid surface is assumed to be insulated to temperatu
Linear instability and nonlinear energy stability analyses are developed for the problem of a fluid-saturated porous layer stratified by penetrative thermal convection and two salt concentrations. Unusual neutral curves are obtained, in particular non-perfect 'heartshaped' oscillatory curves that ar
