摘要
The linear stability theory is used to investigate analytically the Coriolis effect on centrifugally driven convection in a rotating porous layer. The problem corresponding to a layer placed far away from the axis of rotation was identified as a distinct case and therefore justifying special attention. The stability of the basic centrifugally driven convection is analysed. The marginal stability criterion is established as a characteristic centrifugal Rayleigh number in terms of the wavenumber and the Taylor number.
