Abstract
The motion of a stratified fluid between two parallel infinite porous disks rotating about a vertical axis with slightly different angular velocities has been investigated. The closed form solutions are presented either when the temperature of the disks are prescribed or when the heat flow from the upper to the lower disk is prescribed. The effects of porosity on the flow field have been discussed.
