Thermal instability in a porous medium layer saturated by a nanofluid
TL;DR: In this article, the onset of convection in a horizontal layer of a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid is studied analytically, and it is found that the critical thermal Rayleigh number can be reduced or increased by a substantial amount depending on whether the basic nanoparticle distribution is top-heavy or bottom-heavy, by the presence of the nanoparticles.
