Based on the local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) model, this paper investigated the instability of double-diffusive convection for an Oldroyd-B fluid in a fluid-porous system. The linear stability analysis and the Chebyshev collocation method were used, and the critical Rayleigh number, the critical wavenumber, and the neutral curves under oscillatory convection were obtained. The effects of the thickness ratio, the solute Rayleigh number, the fluid-solid thermal conductivity ratio, the fluid-solid interfacial heat transfer coefficient, and the viscoelastic parameters on the system’s stability were analyzed. The results show that a greater thickness ratio destabilizes the two-layer system and results in the disappearance of the system’s bimodal characteristics. Increasing the fluid-solid thermal conductivity ratio makes the system more unstable, while increasing the fluid-solid interfacial heat transfer coefficient has the opposite effect. Local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) mainly influences the system’s instability in the lower wavenumber region. The solute Rayleigh number enhances the system’s stability and promotes the occurrence of oscillatory convection.
