Abstract
The effect of medium permeability on thermal convection in micropolar fluids is considered. It is found that the presence of coupling betwee n thermal and micropolar effects may introduce oscillatory motions in the system. The possibility of oscillatory motions and the increase in Rayleigh number for the stationary convection and decrease in Rayleig h number for overstability with the increase in permeability is depict ed graphically.
