Abstract

Linear stability of double diffusive convection in a binary viscoelastic fluid saturated anisotropic porous layer has been studied analytically. A sufficient condition for the occurrence of stationary convection has been derived in terms of the parameters of the system alone. It is further proved the above result is uniformly valid for any combination of the bounding surfaces.
