Abstract

The effect of variable gravity and rotation on the Thermal instability of Maxwell visco-elastic fluid in porous medium is investigated. It is found that, in case of stationary convection, variable gravity has destabilizing effect while rotation has stabilizing effect on the system whereas medium permeability has stabilizing/destabilizing effect depending upon certain condition. The mode may be non oscillatory or oscillatory.
