Convection in anisotropic inclined porous layers.

- Abstract
Two-dimensional convective flow in a system of fluid-saturated porous layers is considered for small fluid velocities. The layers are inclined at an angle to the horizontal and there is a temperature gradient across them. A mathematical model of the system is constructed and the resulting series solution is numerically summed. The unique features of this model include its ability to represent non-symmetric multi-layered systems and materials whose permeabilities are anisotropic. The model is applied to various physical configurations. System aspect ratios, system symmetry and permeablity anisotropies are found to influence the effect that layers of different materials have on the convective flow.
