Abstract In this paper we study the nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the case of magnetic fluids in the presence of heat and mass transfer. We find that there is a normal field instability in the linear case. The behaviour of the bubbles in the nonlinear analysis is the same as if they were leaving the surface when the liquid is superheated. The criterion for "Explosive Instability" is also examined.

The Stability

The linear analysis of Rayleigh-Taylor instability of the interface between two viscous and dielectric fluids in the presence of a tangential electric field has been carried out when there is heat and mass transfer across the interface. In our earlier work, the viscous potential flow analysis of Rayleigh-Taylor instability in presence of tangential electric field was studied. Here, we use another irrotational theory in which the discontinuities in the irrotational tangential velocity and shear stress are eliminated in the global energy balance. Stability criterion is given by critical value of applied electric field as well as critical wave number. Various graphs have been drawn to show the effect of various physical parameters such as electric field, heat transfer coefficient, and vapour fraction on the stability of the system. It has been observed that heat transfer and electric field both have stabilizing effect on the stability of the system.

The Stability

We study the nonlinear Rayleigh–Taylor instability of the interface between two viscous fluids, when the phases are enclosed between two horizontal cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the interface, and when there is mass and heat transfer across the interface. The fluids are considered to be viscous and incompressible with different kinematic viscosities. The method of multiple expansions has been used for the investigation. In the nonlinear theory, it is shown that the evolution of the amplitude is governed by a Ginzburg–Landau equation. The various stability criteria are discussed both analytically and numerically and stability diagrams are obtained. It has been observed that the heat and mass transfer has stabilizing effect on the stability of the system in the nonlinear analysis.

Rayleigh Taylor Instability

The effect on the interfacial gravity wave between two fluids is studied when there is a temperature gradient in the fluids. It is found that the thermal effect is closely related to the phase transformation across the interface. The interfacial conditions with mass flow are first derived. Then the dispersion relation for the interfacial wave is obtained. It is found that the effect of evaporation is to damp the interfacial wave and to enhance the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. It is also found that the system will be stabilized or destabilized depending on whether the vapor is hotter or colder than the liquid.

Viscous corrections for the viscous potential flow analysis of Rayleigh–Taylor instability of two viscous fluids when there is heat and mass transfer across the interface have been considered. Both fluids are taken as incompressible and viscous with different kinematic viscosities. In viscous potential flow theory, viscosity enters through a normal stress balance and the effects of shearing stresses are completely neglected. We include the viscous pressure in the normal stress balance along with irrotational pressure and it is assumed that this viscous pressure will resolve the discontinuity of the tangential stresses at the interface of the two fluids. It has been observed that heat and mass transfer has a stabilizing effect on the stability of the system. It has been shown that the irrotational viscous flow with viscous corrections gives rise to exactly the same dispersion relation as the dissipation method in which no pressure term is required and the viscous effect is accounted for by evaluating viscous dissipation using irrotational flow. It has been observed that the inclusion of irrotational shearing stresses has a stabilizing effect on the stability of the system.
