Two-Dimensional Convection Induced by Gravity and Centrifugal Forces in a Rotating Porous Layer Far Away from the Axis of Rotation

The stability and onset of two-dimensional convection in a rotating fluid saturated porous layer subject to gravity and centrifugal body forces is investigated analytically. The problem corresponding to a layer placed far away from the centre of rotation was identified as a distinct case and therefo...
