Abstrakt: This study aims at finding the linear theory for the onset of ferromagnetic convective flow in a heterogeneous Brinkman porous layer with uniformly distributed internal heat source in the presence of vertical magnetic field. The resulting critical values are obtained numerically using the Galerkin technique for isothermal/insulated rigid-ferromagnetic boundaries for different forms of vertical heterogeneity permeability function F (z). The results converge for six terms in the Galerkin expansion. The effect of types of F (z) and N s is found to either delay or speedup the flow of the ferrofluids. The stability of the system for the model F 4 is more stable and least stable for the model F 1 in the presence of N s . For different forms of F (z) , the results show that the critical Rayleigh number increases with increasing D a , while decreases with increasing R m and M 3 . The values of a c increase with R m , but they decrease with increasing M 3 and D a. Besides, isothermal boundaries are found to be more stabilizing when compared to insulated boundaries.
