Variable Gravity Effects on Thermal Instability of Nanofluid in Anisotropic Porous Medium

In this paper, we study the effects of variable gravity on thermal instability in a horizontal layer of a nanofluid in an anisotropic porous medium. Darcy model been used for the porous medium. Also, it incorporates the effect of Brownian motion along with thermophoresis. The normal mode technique i...
