Abstract
Numerical simulation of density-driven convection in a porous medium modeling underground flows in crusts is conducted. Convective flows are initiated by an admixture source of finite length in a semi-infinite domain. An influence of the Rayleigh-Darcy number and variable viscosity on the structure and the number of convection regimes is discussed.
