Abstract
Thermoconvective stability of a ferrofluid saturating a rotating porous layer. In this work, we study the linear stability of a rotating porous medium saturated with a ferrofluid. The system is in the gravity field and heated from below or from above. The effect of rotation is restricted to the Coriolis force and the porous medium is described by Brinkman's model. The linear eigenvalue problem is solved by means of a modified Galerkin method. The behavior of the critical temperature gradient is discussed in terms of various parameters of the system for both stationary and overstable convections.
