Abstract
Linear stability analysis of Maxwell fluid in the Bénard problem for a double-diffusive mixture in a porous medium is studied based on the Darcy–Maxwell model. The critical Rayleigh number and the corresponding wave number for the exchange of stability are obtained. On the other hand, the effect of the relaxation time of Maxwell fluid on the critical Rayleigh number is discussed. In limiting cases, some results published previously are recovered from our results.
