Abstract
The linear and nonlinear stability analysis of the motionless state (conduction solution) and of a vertical throughflow in an anisotropic porous medium is performed. In particular, the effect of a nonhomogeneous porosity and a constant anisotropic thermal diffusivity have been taken into account.
