A model is presented for thermal convection in an inclined layer of porous material when the medium has a bidispersive structure. Thus, there are the usual macropores which are full of a fluid, but there are also a system of micropores full of the same fluid. The model we employ is a modification of the one proposed by Nield & Kuznetsov (2006Int. J. Heat Mass Transf. 49 , 3068–3074. (doi:10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2006.02.008 )), although we consider a single temperature field only.
