On Double-Diffusive Convection in a Binary Viscoelastic Fluid Saturated Anisotropic Porous Layer

In the present paper it is mathematically established that the linear growth rate of an arbitrary neutral or unstable oscillatory perturbation of growing amplitude in a double diffusive binary viscoelastic fluid saturated anisotropic porous layer heated from below must lie inside a semicircle in the right half of the (p_r, p_i)-plane whose centre is at the origin and radius equals , where Ra_T and Ra_S are the Darcy-Rayleigh number and the solute Rayleigh number respectively. Further, it is proved that this result is uniformly valid for quite general nature of the bounding surfaces.
