Abstract

The present study analyzes the effect of heat source on thermal convection in an inclined porous layer and also examines the Hadley flow in an inclined porous layer by applying the linear stability analysis. The stability of small-amplitude distributions is studied with corresponding longitudinal rolls using three-dimensional normal modes. The corresponding eigenvalue problem is analyzed numerically by applying the Chebyshev-Tau method for evaluating the critical thermal Rayleigh number (Rz) corresponding to various flow parameters.
