## Porous media can be dissolved by pumping acids through them. The pernreability of the porous material will be raised, and this is used by the petroleum industry to increase the productivity of oil wells. The acid flows preferentiahy into zones of high permeability which are therefore most rapid
The onset of thermohaline convection in an anisotropic rotating porous layer of infinite horizontal extent is investigated. Numerical computations are made assuming horizontal isotropy in permeability. It is observed that (i) for certain parameters a bottomheavy arrangement destabilises a rotating a
