ABSTRACT: In this work, an analytical study is carried out on double-diffusive
natural convection through a horizontal anisotropic porous layer saturated with
a non-Newtonian fluid by using the Darcy model with the Boussinesq
approximations. The horizontal walls of the system are subject to vertical
uniform fluxes of heat and mass, whereas the vertical walls are assumed to be
adiabatic and impermeable. The Soret effect is taken into consideration. Based
on parallel flow approximation theory, the problem is solved in the limit of a
thin layer and documented the effects of the physical parameters describing
this investigation.
