The Horton-Rogers-Lapwood problem for an inclined porous layer with permeable boundaries
1Department of Industrial Engineering, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Viale Risorgimento 2, Bologna 40136, Italy.
Abstract:
A formulation of the Horton-Rogers-Lapwood problem for a porous layer inclined with respect to the horizontal and characterized by permeable (isobaric) boundary conditions is presented. This formulation allows one to recover the results reported in the literature for the limiting cases of horizontal and vertical layer. It is shown that a threshold inclination angle exists which yields an upper bound to a parametric domain where the critical wavenumber is zero. Within this domain, the critical Darcy-Rayleigh number can be determined analytically. The stability analysis is performed for linear perturbations. The solution is found numerically, for the inclination angles above the threshold, by employing a Runge-Kutta method coupled with the shooting method.

Work Done Over an Inclined Plane
The work done by gravity to move a rigid body, or the work done by an opposing force to move a rigid body against gravity, can be calculated using the center-of-mass framework. It is the line integral of the force of gravity over the path, considered positive if...
