In this paper, the effect of rotation and magnetic field on thermal stability of a layer of ferromagnetic fluid heated from below has been investigated. For a fluid layer between two free boundaries, an exact solution is obtained using a linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis. For the case of stationary convection, it is found that magnetic field and rotation have stabilizing effect on the thermal stability of the system. The principle of exchange of stability is not valid for the problem under consideration, whereas in the absence of rotation and magnetic field, it is valid.

AbstractThis paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the effect of a magnetic field, rotation and magnetization on a ferromagnetic fluid under varying gravity field. To find the exact solution for a ferromagnetic fluid layer contained between two free boundaries, we have used a linear stability analysis and normal mode analysis method. For the case of stationary convection, a stable solute gradient has a stabilizing effect, while rotation has a stabilizing effect if λ>0 and destabilizing effect if λ<0. Further, the magnetic field is discovered to have both a stabilizing and destabilizing effect for both λ>0 and λ<0. It is likewise discovered that magnetization has a stabilizing effect for both λ>0 and λ<0 in the absence of the stable solute gradient. Graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values of various parameters. In the absence of rotation, magnetic field and stable solute gradient, the principle of exchange of stabilities is found to hold true for certain conditions.

This paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the effect of Hall currents on the thermal stability of a ferromagnetic fluid heated from below in porous medium. For a fluid layer between two free boundaries, an exact solution is obtained using a linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis. A dispersion relation governing the effects of medium permeability, a uniform horizontal magnetic field, magnetization and Hall currents is derived. For the case of stationary convection, it is found that the magnetic field and magnetization have a stabilizing effect on the system, as such their effect is to postpone the onset of thermal instability whereas Hall currents are found to hasten the onset of thermal instability. The medium permeability hastens the onset of convection under certain conditions. The principle of exchange of stabilities is not valid for the problem under consideration whereas in the absence of Hall currents (hence magnetic field), it is valid under certain conditions.

The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability of a stratified and viscid magnetoplasma including the effects of "finite-resistivity and suspended particles is investigated using normal mode analysis. The horizontal magnetic field and the viscosity of the medium are assumed to be variable. The dispersion relation, which is obtained for the general case on employing boundary conditions appropriate to the case of two free boundaries, is then specialized for the longitudinal and transverse modes. It is found that the criterion of stable stratification remains essentially unchanged and that the unstable stratification for the longitudinal mode can be stabilized for a certain wave number band, whereas the transverse mode remains unstable or all wave numbers which can be stabilized by a suitable choice of the magnetic field for vanishing resistivity. Thus, resistivity is found to have a destabilizing influence on the RT configuration. The growth rates of the unstable RT modes with the kinematic viscosity and the relaxation frequency parameter of the suspended particles have been analytically evaluated. Dust (suspended particles) tends to stabilize the configuration when the medium is considered viscid with infinite conductivity. The kinematic viscosity has a stabilizing influence on the ideal plasma modes.

Abstract The effect of Hall currents and suspended dusty particles on the hydromagnetic stability of a compressible, electrically conducting Rivlin-Ericksen elastico viscous fluid in a porous medium is considered. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis the dispersion relation is obtained. For the case of stationary convection, Hall currents and suspended particles are found to have destabilizing effects whereas compressibility and magnetic field have stabilizing effects on the system. The medium permeability, however, has stabilizing and destabilizing effects on thermal instability in contrast to its destabilizing effect in the absence of the magnetic field. The critical Rayleigh numbers and the wave numbers of the associated disturbances for the onset of instability as stationary convection are obtained and the behavior of various parameters on critical thermal Rayleigh numbers are depicted graphically. The magnetic field, Hall currents and viscoelasticity parameter are found to introduce oscillatory modes in the systems, which did not exist in the absence of these parameters

Abstract In this paper, effect of Hall currents on the thermal instability of couple-stress fluid permeated with dust particles has been considered. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. For the case of stationary convection, dust particles and Hall currents are found to have destabilizing effect while couple stresses have stabilizing effect on the system. Magnetic field induced by Hall currents has stabilizing/destabilizing effect under certain conditions. It is found that due to the presence of Hall currents (hence magnetic field), oscillatory modes are produced which were non-existent in their absence.

The problem of thermal instability of compressible, electrically conducting couple-stress fluids in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is considered. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. For stationary convection, the compressibility, couple-stress, and magnetic field postpone the onset of convection. Graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values of the parameters to depict the stability characteristics. The principle of exchange of stabilities is found to be satisfied. The magnetic field introduces oscillatory modes in the system that were non-existent in its absence. The case of overstability is also studied wherein a sufficient condition for the non-existence of overstability is obtained.

Dufour and Soret effects on the convection in a horizontal layer of Rivlin-Ericksen elastico- viscous fluid in porous medium are considered. For the porous medium, the Darcy model is used. A linear stability analysis based upon normal mode analysis is employed to find a solution of the fluid layer confined between two free boundaries. The onset criterion for stationary and oscillatory convection has been derived analytically, and graphs have been plotted, giving various numerical values to various parameters, to depict the stability characteristics. The effects of the Dufour parameter, Soret parameter, solutal Rayleigh number, and Lewis number on stationary convection have been investigated.

This paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the triple-diffusive convection in a micropolar ferrofluid layer heated and soluted below subjected to a transverse uniform magnetic field in the presence of uniform vertical rotation. For a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries, an exact solution is obtained. A linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been employed to study the onset convection. The influence of various parameters like rotation, solute gradients, and micropolar parameters (i.e., the coupling parameter, spin diffusion parameter and micropolar heat conduction parameter) on the onset of stationary convection has been analyzed. The critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number for the onset of instability is also determined numerically for sufficiently large value of the buoyancy magnetization parameter M1 (ratio of the magnetic to gravitational forces). The principle of exchange of stabilities is found to hold true for the micropolar fluid heated from below in the absence of micropolar viscous effect, microinertia, solute gradient and rotation. The oscillatory modes are introduced due to the presence of the micropolar viscous effect, microinertia , solute gradient and rotation, which were non-existent in their absence. In this paper, an attempt is also made to obtain the sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability.

Thermal instability in a horizontal layer of Rivlin–Ericksen elastico-viscous nanofluid in a porous medium is considered. A linear stability analysis based upon normal mode analysis is used to find a solution of the fluid layer confined between two free boundaries. The onset criterion for stationary and oscillatory convection is derived analytically and graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values to various parameters to depict the stability characteristics. The effects of the concentration Rayleigh number, Vadasz number, capacity ratio, Lewis number, and kinematics viscoelasticity parameter on the stability of the system are investigated. Regimes of oscillatory and nonoscillatory convection for various parameters are derived and discussed in detail. The sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of oscillatory convection have also been obtained.
