Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the onset of penetrative convection in a Darcy–Brinkman porous medium under the hypothesis of local thermal non-equilibrium. For the problem at stake, the strong form of the principle of exchange of stabilities has been proved, i.e. convective motions can occur only through secondary stationary motions. We perform linear and nonlinear stability analyses of the basic state, with particular regard to the behaviour of stability thresholds with respect to the relevant physical parameters characterizing the problem. The Chebyshev- τ method and the shooting method are employed and accurately implemented to solve the differential eigenvalue problems arising from linear and nonlinear analyses to determine critical Rayleigh numbers. Via numerical simulations, the stabilizing effect of the upper bounding plane temperature, of the Darcy number and of the interaction coefficient for the heat exchange, is demonstrated.
