Abstract
Influenced by the article of Vadasz [1], an analysis has been carried out to investigate convective instability due to centrifugal acceleration in an anisotropic porous medium. Results reveal that anisotropy in thermal diffusivity destabilizes the system whereas that in permeability has the opposite effect.
