Stationary and oscillatory convection of binary fluids in a porous medium

We investigate numerically stationary convection and traveling wave structures of binary fluid mixtures with negative separation ratio in the Rayleigh-Bénard system filled with a porous medium. The bifurcation behavior of these roll structures is elucidated as well as the properties of the velocity, temperature, and concentration fields. Moreover, we discuss lateral averaged currents of temperature and concentration. Finally, we investigate the influence of the Lewis number, of the separation ratio, and of the normalized porosity on the bifurcation branches.
