Abstract
We investigate the convection amplitude in an infinite porous layer subjected to a vibration body force that is collinear with the gravitational acceleration. The analysis shows that increasing the vibration frequency causes the convection amplitude to approach zero, i.e., increasing the vibration frequency stabilizes the convection.
