Abstract
The convective double-diffusive instability in a two-layer system consisting of a binary fluid layer overlaying a fluid-saturated porous layer is investigated numerically. The system moves periodically in a vertical direction under the conditions of gravity field. The layers are heated from below and oscillate with high frequency and small amplitude. The instability threshold for the convection onset and the wavelength of convective rolls, which induce as soon as the fluid equilibrium state has lost its stability, are found. The buoyancy ratio and vibrational parameter effects are studied. A region of parameters for the bimodal marginal stability curves is obtained and divided it into parts for the local and large-scale convection onset values. It is revealed that wavelength of stationary convection rolls varies non-monotonically as the buoyancy ratio decreases. The longitudinal scale of rolls reduces sharply at first and then increases gradually. Vibration produces the greatest stabilizing effect on the fluid equilibrium state in a narrow range of small negative and positive buoyancy ratios, which are responsible for a considerable change in the wavelength of rolls. The buoyancy ratio effect on the oscillatory convection rolls is rather weak. The vibration effect on their marginal stability threshold and wavelength is more pronounced.
