Linear Stability Analysis of Double Diffusive Convection in a Horizontal Sparsely Packed Rotating Anisotropic Porous Layer in Presence of Soret Effect

In this paper, we have investigated theoretically the effect of Soret parameter on the onset of double diffusive rotating anisotropic convection in a horizontal sparsely packed porous layer using linear stability theory which is based on the usual normal mode technique. The Brinkman model that includes the Coriolis term is employed for the momentum equation. The effect of anisotropy parameters, Soret parameter, solute Rayleigh number, Taylor number, Lewis number, Darcy and Darcy Prandtl number on stationary and oscillatory convection is shown graphically.
