Floquet and Nonlinear Energy Stability of Periodically Heated Thermosolutal Convection in a Shear-Thinning Micropolar Porous Layer
The stability of a horizontal porous layer saturated by a binary, shear-thinning micropolar fluid is examined when the imposed temperature difference is sinusoidally modulated. A Darcy-Brinkman-micropolar formulation is coupled to thermal and solutal transport, while the apparent viscosity follows a regularized Carreau...
