Hydrodynamic stability of Poiseuille flow in a bidisperse porous medium with slip effect

This study focuses on examining the hydrodynamic stability of an incompressible fluid flowing through a bidisperse porous medium. Specifically, the impact of slip boundary conditions on instability is investigated. The study looks at a scenario in which the Darcy theory is used for micropores and the Brinkman theory is used for macropores. An incompressible fluid is located within an unbound channel with a constant pressure gradient along its length in the system under investigation. The fluid flows laminarly along the pressure gradient, resulting in a stable parabolic velocity distribution that does not alter over time. Based on our observations, it appears that increasing the values of the slip parameter, permeability ratio, porous parameter, interaction parameter and Darcy Reynolds number leads to an improvement in the stability of the system. The spectrum behavior of eigenvalues in the Orr–Sommerfeld problem for Poiseuille flow exhibits significant sensitivity and is influenced by multiple factors, encompassing both the mathematical attributes of the problem and the specific numerical techniques utilized for approximation.
