The onset of stationary convection in thermal instability of porous layer saturating a Jeffrey nanofluid is studied. The behaviour of nanofluid is described by a Jeffrey fluid model and the porous layer is assumed to follow Darcy’s law. Due to the presence of the Jeffrey parameter and nanoparticles, the momentum-balance equation of fluid is modified. The linear stability analysis and normal modes analysis method are utilised to derive the dispersion relation for the Rayleigh number in terms of various parameters for free-free boundaries. The effects of the Jeffrey parameter, Lewis number, modified diffusivity ratio, nanoparticles’ Rayleigh number and medium porosity on the physical system are discussed analytically and graphically.
In this paper, the effects of rotation on a Jeffery nanofluid flow in a porous medium which is heated from below is studied. Darcy model is employed for porous medium and the Jeffrey fluid model is used as a base fluid. The Navier-Stokes equations of motion of fluid are modified under the influence of the Jeffrey parameter, naoparticles and rotation. The basic perturbation technique based on normal modes is applied to derive the dispersion relation for a Rayleigh number. The effects of the Taylor number, Jeffrey parameter, Lewis number, modified diffusivity ratio, nanoparticles Rayleigh number and medium porosity on the stationary convection of the physical system have been analyzed analytically and graphically. It is observed that the rotation parameter has a stabilising influence for both bottom/top-heavy configurations.
