Abstract

The onset of convection in porous materials with vertically stratified porosity is studied. By means of an auxiliary integral equation, the absence of subcritical instabilities is shown and—in closed form—the global stability condition is obtained. How—in artificial porous materials—the porosity could be vertically stratified in order to either inhibit or promote the onset of convection is analyzed.
