Effect of vertical heterogeneity on the onset of ferroconvection in a Brinkman porous medium

Effect of vertical heterogeneity on the onset of ferroconvection in a Brinkman porous medium

The onset of ferroconvection in a Brinkman porous medium is studied for different forms of vertical heterogeneity permeability function Γ(z). The eigenvalue problem is solved numerically using the Galerkin method for isothermal/insulated rigid-ferromagnetic boundary conditions. It is observed that t...
