文摘

Effect of vertical throughflow on Darcy convection has been investigated subject to time-periodic temperature modulation of the boundaries. The amplitudes of temperature modulation at the lower and upper surfaces are considered to be very small, and the disturbances are expanded in terms of power series of amplitude of convection. A weak nonlinear stability analysis has been performed for the stationary mode of convection, and heat transport in terms of the Nusselt number, which is governed by the non-autonomous Ginzburg–Landau equation, is calculated. The effect of vertical throughflow is found to be either to destabilize or stabilize the system for downward or upward throughflows in the case of impermeable boundary conditions. The effect of amplitude and frequency of modulation, Prandtl–Darcy number on heat transport has been analyzed and depicted graphically. Further, the study establishes that the heat transport can be controlled effectively by a mechanism that is external to the system.
