Abstract

In the present paper, the effect of the Vadasz inertia term on the onset of convective motions for a Darcy–Brinkman model is investigated. It is proved that this term leads to the possibility for oscillatory convection to occur. Hence, convection can occur via either oscillatory or steady motions. It is proved analytically that the onset of steady convection is not affected by the Vadasz term, while oscillatory convection is favoured by it. Moreover, conditions to rule out the occurrence of oscillatory convection are determined numerically. The influence of rotation, interaction coefficient and mechanical and thermal anisotropies on the onset of instability is investigated, both analytically and numerically.
