The ability of linear controllers to stabilize the conduction (no-motion) state of a saturated porous layer heated from below and cooled from above is studied theoretically. Proportional, suboptimal robust (H∞) and linear quadratic Gaussian (H2) controllers are considered. The proportional controller increases the critical Rayleigh number for the onset of convection by as much as a factor of 2. Both the H2 and H∞ controllers stabilize the linearized system at all Rayleigh numbers. Although all these controllers successfully render negative the real part of the linearized system’s eigenvalues, the linear operator of the controlled system is non-normal and disturbances undergo substantial growth prior to their eventual, asymptotic decay. The dynamics of the nonlinear system are examined as a function of the disturbance’s amplitude when the system is subjected to the “most dangerous disturbances.” These computations provide the critical amplitude of the initial conditions above which the system can no longer...
