Abstract
The conduction regime in a vertical porous layer subject to a horizontal temperature gradient is studied. The boundaries are considered as isothermal, with different temperatures, and permeable to the external environment. The linear stability of this basic flow state is analysed by testing the dynamics of the normal modes of perturbation. The numerical solution of the stability eigenvalue problem leads to the determination of the neutral stability condition. Then, the evolution in time of localised wavepacket perturbations is investigated leading to the determination of the threshold to absolute instability.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
