Abstract
In this study, nonlinear stability analysis of double-diffusive convection in a horizontal fluid saturated porous layer has been investigated. Concentration based internal heat source and vertical throughflow effects are considered during investigation. Energy method has been implemented to develop the nonlinear stability analysis. Runge–Kutta and shooting methods have been used to solve the eigenvalue problem. Critical thermal Rayleigh number is obtained for assigned values of governing parameters. Results of linear and nonlinear theories have been compared. It is observed that for downward throughflow, when Peclet number Pe is high, the effect of concentration based internal heat source \(\gamma \) is insignificant.
