Abstract

A study of nonmodal and modal stability analyses of a three-dimensional Poiseuille flow through a channel is performed where the bounding walls are partially covered by inhomogeneous and anisotropic porous layers. The evolution equations corresponding to normal velocity and normal vorticity are derived for fluid and porous layers to decipher the transient disturbance energy growth. The modal stability analysis reveals that the anisotropy parameter has a stabilizing impact, while the coefficient of inhomogeneity shows a peculiar behaviour on the most unstable shear mode. The nonmodal stability analysis predicts that the transient disturbance energy growth exists and attenuates with the increase in the value of the anisotropy parameter and larger values of the coefficient of inhomogeneity; however, it intensifies for smaller values of the coefficient of inhomogeneity.
