The current work examines the application of the viscous potential flow to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) of a planar interface between two visco-elastic Walters’ B fluids. The fluids are fully saturated in porous media in the presence of heat and mass transfer across the interface. Additionally, the structure is pervaded via a uniform, normal electrical field in the absence of superficial charges. The nonlinear scheme basically depends on analyzing the linear principal equation of motion, and then applying the appropriate nonlinear boundary-conditions. The current organization creates a nonlinear characteristic equation describing the amplitude performance of the surface waves. The classical Routh–Hrutwitz theory is employed to judge the linear stability criteria. Once more, the implication of the multiple time scale with the aid of Taylor theory yields a Ginzburg–Landau equation, which controls the nonlinear stability criteria. Furthermore, the Poincaré–Lindstedt technique is implemented to achieve an analytic estimated bounded solution for the surface deflection. Many special cases draw upon appropriate data selections. Finally, all theoretical findings are numerically confirmed in such a way that ensures the effectiveness of various physical parameters.

The present paper employs a numerical method based on the improved block–pulse basis functions (IBPFs). This was mainly performed to resolve the Volterra–Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. Those equations are often simplified into a linear system of algebraic equations through the use of IBPFs in addition to the operational matrix of integration. Typically, the classical alterations have enhanced the time taken by the computer program to solve the system of algebraic equations. The current modification works perfectly and has improved the efficiency over the regular block–pulse basis functions (BPF). Additionally, the paper handles the uniqueness plus the convergence theorems of the solution. Numerical examples have been presented to illustrate the efficiency as well as the accuracy of the method. Furthermore, tables and graphs are used to show and confirm how the method is highly efficient.
