Abstract In this paper we present an analytical and numerical study of Soret convection in an inclined rectangular porous layer saturated with a binary fluid and subject to uniform heat fluxes. In the problem formulation, the Darcy model is considered and the results are presented for wide ranges of RT (50 ≤ RT ≤ 1000), θ(0°≤θ≤180°) and φ(-1 ≤ φ ≤ 1) for Le = 10, where RT, θ, φ, and Le are the thermal Darcy-Rayleigh number, the cavity inclination, the separation parameter, and the Lewis number, respectively. An analytical solution, derived on the basis of the parallel flow approximation, is… More >
