Abstract

The linear and non-linear stability of a rotating double-diffusive reaction–convection in a horizontal anisotropic porous layer subjected to chemical equilibrium on the boundaries is investigated considering a Darcy model that includes the Coriolis term. The effect of Taylor number, mechanical, and thermal anisotropy parameters, reaction rate, solute Rayleigh number, Lewis number, and normalized porosity on the stability of the system is investigated. We find that the Taylor number has a stabilizing effect, chemical reaction may be stabilizing or destabilizing and that the anisotropic parameters have significant influence on the stability criterion. The effect of various parameters on the stationary, oscillatory, and finite-amplitude convection is shown graphically. A weak nonlinear theory based on the truncated representation of Fourier series method is used to find the finite amplitude Rayleigh number and heat and mass transfer.
