Abstract

The stability of a horizontal sparsely packed porous layer of a dielectric fluid heated from below is examined when the fluid layer is subjected to time-dependent electric field modulation. The dielectric constant is assumed to be a linear function of temperature. The regular perturbation method is used to find the critical Rayleigh number and the corresponding wavenumber for small amplitude electric field modulation. The stability of the system characterized by a correction Rayleigh number is computed as a function of thermal, electric, and porous parameters, and the frequency of electric field modulation. It is found that the onset of electro-convection can be delayed or advanced by the presence of these parameters. The effect of various parameters is found to be significant for moderate values of the frequency of electric field modulation. Some of the known results are recovered as special cases of the present study. The findings of the present study have possible implications in the control of electro-convection with a time-varying electric field.
