To commence this chapter we investigate the stability of convective flow in a layer of saturated porous material which is subject to a vertical temperature gradient. The appropriate equations are now presented according to the theories of Darcy, Forchheimer, Darcy with anisotropic permeability, and Brinkman.While my previous book,(Straughan, 2004a), concentrates on energy stability applications in fluid mechanics, there are inevitably, some investigations there of convection flows in porous media. The object of this book is not to cover the same material, apart from the basic analysis which for reasons of clarity is contained in sections 4.1 and 4.2. However, the rest of this chapter concentrates on novel flow situations in porous media, many very recent, and some given here for the first time. Some of this work deals with nonlinear stability by means of the energy method, but not exclusively so.
