Abstract
The effect of temperature modulation on natural convection in a horizontal porous annulus is investigated in this paper. The porous medium is confined between the inner and outer cylinders of the annulus which is subjected to time-dependent temperature. It is assumed that the time-dependent modulation is periodic with frequency σ and amplitude λ. The model consists of the heat equation and the equations of motion under the Darcy law. The derived problem with the stream function-temperature formulation is solved numerically using the alternating direction implicit method. It is shown that a stabilizing effect can be gained for appropriate values of the frequency σ and the amplitude λ.
