Tridispersive thermal convection
fisica matematica
We derive the linear instability and nonlinear stability thresholds for a problem of thermal convection in a tridispersive porous medium with a single temperature. Importantly we demonstrate that the nonlinear stability threshold is the same as the linear instability one. The significance of this is that the linear theory is capturing completely the physics of the onset of thermal convection.
