Electro-thermal convection in a Brinkman porous medium saturated by nanofluid
Thermal instability in a horizontal layer of nanofluid with vertical AC electric field in a porous medium is investigated. Brinkman–Darcy model is used for the momentum equation. The model used for nanofluid incorporates the effect of Brownian diffusion, thermophoresis and electrophoresis. The flux...
