ABSTRACT
A layer of Rivlin-Ericksen viscoelastic fluid heated from below in
a porous medium is considered in the presence of uniform vertical
rotation. Following the linearized stability theory and normal
mode analysis, the paper mathematically established the condition
for characterizing the oscillatory motions which may be neutral or
unstable, for rigid boundaries at the top and bottom of the fluid. It
is established that all non-decaying slow motions starting from
rest, in a Rivlin-Ericksen viscoelastic fluid of infinite horizontal
extension and finite vertical depth, which is acted upon by
uniform vertical rotation in a porous medium, opposite to gravity
and a constant vertical adverse temperature gradient, are
necessarily non-oscillatory, in the regime T A

problem of thermosolutal convection in
fluids in a porous medium is of great
importance in geophysics, soil sciences,
ground water hydrology and astrophysics.
Generally, it is accepted that comets consist
of a dusty snowball of a mixture of frozen
gases which, in the process of their journey,
changes from solid to gas and vice-versa.
The physical properties of the comets,
meteorites and interplanetary dust strongly
suggest the importance of non-Newtonian
fluids in chemical technology, industry and
geophysical fluid dynamics. Thermal
convection in porous medium is also of
