In the presence of a constant heat source/sink in both layers of the porous–fluid system, the Darcy–Bènard Triple-Diffusive Convection (DBTDC) problem is investigated for two types of Thermal Boundary Combinations (TBCs). For type (i) adiabatic–adiabatic and type (ii) adiabatic–isothermal TBCs, the system of ordinary differential equations derived from normal mode analysis is solved in closed form for the eigenvalue, Thermal Marangoni Number (TMN). The depth ratio thoroughly explains the influence of several parameters on the eigenvalue, hence on DBTDMC. It is noticed that the parameters in the study have a larger influence on the porous layer dominant composite layer systems than that on the fluid layer dominant composite systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
