a b s t r a c t Double-diffusive convection in an anisotropic porous layer heated and salted from below with an internal heat source and Soret effect is studied analytically using both linear and nonlinear stability analyses. The generalized Darcy model including the time derivative term is employed for the momentum equation. The critical Rayleigh number and wavenumber for stationary and oscillatory modes and frequency of oscillations are obtained analytically using linear theory. The effects of the anisotropy parameters, concentration Rayleigh number, internal heat source, Soret parameter, Vadasz number and Lewis number on the stationary, oscillatory, and heat and mass transfer are shown graphically. Heat and mass transfer have been obtained in terms of the Nusselt number and Sherwood number. Ó 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The problem of double-diffusive convection in porous media has received considerable attention in recent years, on account of its wide applications in, for example, the effect of contaminants on lakes and under ground water, atmospheric pollution, chemical processes, food processing, energy storage, and materials processing. In double diffusion, the buoyancy force is affected not only by the difference of temperature, but also by the difference of concentration of the fluid. A detailed discussion on double diffusion natural convection can be found in the books by Nield and Bejan [1], Ingham and Pop [2] and Vafai [3]. The onset of thermal instability in a horizontal porous layer saturated with Newtonian fluid was first studied by Horton and Rojers [4] and Lapwood [5]. Other studies on linear and nonlinear double diffusive convection in a porous layer were given by Haajizadeh et al. [6], Gaikwad et al. [7], Charrier-Mojtabi et al. [8], Malashetty and Swamy [9] and Capone et al. [10]. Early studies on convection in a porous medium have usually been concerned with homogeneous isotropic porous structures. In the last one decade, the effects of non-homogeneity and anisotropy of the porous medium have been studied. The geological and pedagogical processes rarely form isotropic media as is usually as⇑ Corresponding author at: Solar Energy Research Institute, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi Selangor, Malaysia.

sumed in transport studies. In geothermal system with a ground structure composed of many strata of different permeability, the overall horizontal permeability may be up to 10 times as large as the vertical component. Processes such as sedimentation, compaction, frost action, and reorientation of the solid matrix are responsible for the creation of anisotropic natural porous media. Anisotropy can also be a characteristic of artificial porous material like pelleting used in chemical engineering process, fiber materials used in insulating purposes. Anisotropy finds also application in mathematical modeling in geothermal systems such as fractured rocks [11]. The first study in a fluid layer saturated anisotropic porous medium was conducted by Castinel and Combarnous [12]. Many other studies were conducted in a fluid layer saturated anisotropic porous medium [13,14]. Recently, many authors have studied the effect of anisotropy on the onset of convection in a porous layer [15,9,16,11,17]. A situation in which a porous medium has its own source of heat can occur through radioactive decay or through, in the present perspective, a relatively weak exothermic reaction which can take place within the porous material. Internal heat generation becomes very important in geophysics, reactor safety analysis, metal waste form development, fire and combustion studies and storage of radioactive materials. The onset of convection in a horizontal layer of an anisotropic porous medium with an internal heat source subjected to an inclined temperature gradient was studied by Parthiban and Parthiban [18]. An analytical solution for small Rayleigh number in a finite container with isothermal walls and uniform heat generation within the porous medium was given by

Joshi et al. [19]. Recently, Bhadauria et al. [16] studied the natural convection in a rotating anisotropic porous layer with internal heat generation using a weak nonlinear analysis. In [17], Bhadauria studied double-diffusive natural convection in an anisotropic porous layer in the presence of an internal heat source. If the cross diffusion terms are included in the species transport equations, then the situation will be quite different. Due to the cross diffusion effect, each property gradient has a significant influence on the flux of the other property. A flux of salt caused by a spatial gradient of temperature is called the Soret effect. Similarly, a flux of heat caused by a spatial gradient of concentration is called the DuFour effect. The DuFour coefficient is of order of magnitude smaller than the Soret coefficient in liquids, and the corresponding contribution to the heat flux may be neglected. Many studies can be found in the literature concerning the Soret and DuFour effects. A study by Rudaraiah and Malashetty [20] discussed the doublediffusive convection in a porous medium in the presence of Soret and DuFour effects. In another study, Rudraiah and Siddheshwar [21] investigated a weak nonlinear stability analysis of doublediffusive convection with cross-diffusion in a fluid saturated porous medium. Bahloul et al. [22] studied analytically and numerically a double-diffusive and Soret-induced convection in a shallow horizontal porous layer. Mansour et al. [23] investigated the multiplicity of solutions induced by thermosolutal convection in a square porous cavity heated from below and subject to horizontal solute gradient in the presence of Soret effect. Recently, Malashetty and Biradar [24] carried out an analytical study of linear and nonlinear double-diffusive convection in a fluid-saturated porous layer with Soret and DuFour effects. Also, a study by Malashetty et al. [25] investigated Soret effect on double diffusive convection in a Darcy porous medium saturated with a couple stress fluid. The aim of this work is to study the effects of an internal heat source and Soret effect on the convection in a binary fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer. The onset criteria for stationary and oscillatory double-diffusive convection are obtained using linear stability analysis. Heat and mass transfer have been studied using nonlinear stability analysis, and the results were presented graphically in terms of the Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood number Sh.

tween two parallel horizontal planes at z = 0 and z = d with a distance d apart. A Cartesian frame of reference is chosen in such a way that the origin lies on the lower plane and the z-axis as vertically upward, where the gravity force g is acting vertically downward. Adverse temperature and concentration gradients are applied across the porous layer, and the lower and upper planes are kept, respectively, at temperatures T0 + DT and T0, and concentrations S0 + DS and S0, where DT and DS are temperature difference and concentration difference between the walls, respectively. The Soret effect is considered and the Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximation is assumed to account for the effect of density variations. Under these assumptions, the governing equations are given by Gaikwad et al. [11]

3.1. Marginal stationary state For the existence of marginal stability, the real part of e must be zero at marginal state. For stationary convection to occur, e must be zero. This means that the real and imaginary part of e are equal to zero. So, from Eq. (33) the stationary Rayleigh number equals to

Further, the results can be used as a starting point to generalize it for the full nonlinear problem. Also it is to be noted that the effect of nonlinearity is to distort the temperature and concentration fields through the interaction of w and T, and w and S, respectively. As a result, a component of the form sin (2pz) will be generated. Dropping the asterisks and rearranging the terms, Eqs. (21)–(23) become

A weak nonlinear theory For flows with Ra > Rast T , the linear stability analysis is not valid, because of the missing nonlinear effects.

where the amplitudes A1(t), B1(t), B2(t), C1(t) and C2(t) are functions of time and are to be determined. Substituting (44)–(46) in (41)– (43) and equating the coefficients of like terms of the resulting equations, we obtain the following system of nonlinear differential equations

Heat and mass transport is a very important issue in studying convection in fluids. This is because the onset of convection, as the Rayleigh number is increased, is more readily detected by its effect on the heat and mass transport. In the basic state, heat and mass transport is by conduction only. If H and J are the rates of heat and mass transport per unit area, respectively, then

Substituting Eqs. (45) and (46) into Eqs. (59) and (60) respectively and using the resultant equations in Eqs. (57) and (58), we get

and nonlinear analyses. The expressions for the onset of stationary and oscillatory convection are calculated using the linear stability theory in terms of the governing parameters Ras, Le, Sr, Ri, g, n and Va. In the nonlinear theory, the heat and mass transfer are discussed in terms of the Nusselt number and sherwood number. The marginal stability curves for steady convection (Eq. (34)) and oscillatory convection (Eq. (39)) have been presented graphically in Figs. 1–5. It is found that, in all the cases investigated, the instability sets in via the oscillatory mode. The effects of the anisotropy parameters on the marginal stability curves are shown in Fig. 1. The effect of increasing g is to increase both the oscillatory and steady marginal curves, and hence the system is stabilized (see Fig. 1(a)). In Fig. 1(b), it is observed that increasing n destabilizes the system for both the stationary and oscillatory modes. Fig. 2 indicates the effect of the concentration Rayleigh number Ras and Lewis number Le on the stationary and oscillatory convection. The effect of Ras on the oscillatory marginal curve is quite small, but quite large on the stationary curve as shown in Fig. 2(a). The

effect of increasing Ras is stabilizing. While the opposite is observed for the effect of the Lewis number Le. The destabilizing effect of the internal Rayleigh number Ri is depicted in Fig. 3. Fig. 4 shows that the Vadasz number Va has no effect on the steady curve and a negligible effect on the oscillatory curve. The effect of the Soret parameter, Sr, is depicted in Fig. 5. Both negative and positive values of Sr were chosen. It is observed that the Soret parameter has a negligible effect on the oscillatory curves. On the other hand, the negative (positive) Soret parameter has a stabilizing (destabilizing) effect on the stationary curves. In the study of double-diffusive convection, heat and mass transport are important. Heat and mass transport are given in terms of the Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood number Sh respectively, which represent the ratio of heat or mass transported across the layer to the heat and mass transported by conduction alone. Fig. 6 shows the results obtained from Eq. (61). Fig. 6(a) shows that an increase of n increases Nu, which enhances the heat transfer. Fig. 6(d) shows that Ri has the effect of increasing the heat transfer. On the other hand, increasing

Ras and g decrease the heat transfer as depicted in Fig. 6(b) and (e). It is noticeable that increasing Sr increases the heat transfer (see Fig. 6(c)). However, for RaT > 180 the effect of varying Sr diminishes. The effects of the various parameters on heat mass transfer that can be determined from Eq. (62) are shown graphically in Fig. 7. Fig. 7(a) clearly shows that the effect of the mechanical anisotropy parameter n is to enhance the mass transfer. However, increasing Ras has the opposite effect as depicted in Fig. 7(b). Fig. 7(c) depicts the effect of the Soret parameter on the Sherwood number. It is found that there is a critical value of RaT below which increasing Sr enhances the mass transfer and above which increasing Sr decreases the mass transfer. The effect of Ri on the mass transfer is small for low values of RaT and then becomes insignificant for RaT (see Fig. 7(d)). The effect of increasing the thermal anisotropy parameter g is initially to decrease the mass transfer, but as RaT is increased further the opposite effect is observed. 6. Conclusion The onset of double-diffusive convection in a binary fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer in the presence of Soret effect and internal heat source is studied analytically using linear and nonlinear stability analysis. The porous layer is heated and salted from below. For the stationary and oscillatory modes, it is observed that increasing the values of mechanical anisotropy parameter n, Lewis number Le, and internal Rayleigh number Ri destabilizes the system. On the other hand, increasing the values of thermal anisotropy parameter g and concentration Rayleigh number Ras is to stabilize the system. The positive values of Sr decreases the marginal curves for the stationary convection. While, the negative ones increases them. The effect of the Soret parameter on the oscillatory curves is negligible. The effects of the mechanical anisotropy parameter n and internal Rayleigh number Ri are to enhance the heat and mass transfer as they are increased. On the other hand, increasing the concentration Rayleigh number Ras and thermal anisotropy parameter g has the effect of decreasing the heat and mass transfer. Increasing the Soret parameter enhances the heat transfer. We also found that there is a critical value of RaT below which increasing Sr enhances the mass transfer and above which increasing Sr decreases the mass transfer.
