Abstract
Convective instability in a fluid-saturated isotropic porous layer between infinite parallel plates inclined arbitrarily with respect to gravity is in vestigated for both Darcy and Brinkman models. When the heat flux at the bo undaries is fixed it is shown that if the temperature gradient parallel to the plates is adverse, the critical Rayleigh number is zero.
