The Rayleigh‐Taylor instability of a Newtonian viscous fluid overlying an Oldroydian viscoelastic fluid containing suspended particles is considered. As in both Newtonian viscous-viscous fluids, the system is stable in the potentially stable case and unstable in the potentially unstable case, this holds for the present problem also. The effect of a variable horizontal magnetic field is also considered. The presence of magnetic field stabilizes a certain wavenumber band, whereas the system is unstable for all wavenumbers in the absence of the magnetic field for the potentially unstable arrangement.

Abstract The Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a Newtonian viscous fluid overlying an Oldroydian viscoelastic fluid containing suspended particles in a porous medium is considered. As in both Newtonian viscous-viscous fluids the system is stable in the potentially stable case and unstable in the potentially unstable case, this holds for the present problem also. The effects of a variable horizontal magnetic field and a uniform rotation are also considered. The presence of magnetic field stabilizes a certain wave-number band, whereas the system is unstable for all wave-numbers in the absence of the magnetic field for the potentially unstable configuration. However, the system is stable in the potentially stable case and unstable in the potentially unstable case for highly viscous fluids in the presence of a uniform rotation.

Abstract The hydromagnetric Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a composite medium has been studied in the presence of suspended particles for an exponentially varying density distribution. The prevalent horizontal magnetic field and viscosity of the medium are assumed to be variable. The dispersion relation is derived for such a medium. It is found that the stability criterion is independent of both viscosity and suspended particles. The system can be stabilized for an appropriate value of the magnetic field. It is found that the suspended particles can suppress as well as enhance the growth rate of the instability in certain regions. The growth rates are obtained for a viscid medium with the inclusion of suspended particles and without it. It has been shown analytically that the growth rate is modified by the inclusion of the relaxation frequency parameter of the suspended particles.

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a Newtonian viscous fluid overlying a Rivlin-Ericksen viscoelastic fluid is considered. Upon application of normal mode technique, the dispersion relation is obtained. As in both Newtonian viscous-viscous fluids the system is stable in the potentially stable case and unstable in the potentially unstable case, this holds for the present problem also. The behavior of growth rates with respect to kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity parameters are examined numerically and it is found that both kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity have stabilizing effect.

A general equation studying the combined effect of horizontal and vertical magnetic fields on the stability of two superposed fluids has been obtained. The unstable and stable cases at the interface (z = 0) between two uniform fluids, with both the possibilities of real and complex n, have been. separately dealt with. Some new results are obtained. In the unstable case with real n, the perturbations are damped or unstable according as 2(k'-k~L2)_(<X2-<Xl)k is> or < 0 under the physical situation (35). In the stable case, the perturbations are stable or unstable according as 2(k2_k~L2)+(<Xl-<X2)k is > or < 0 under the same physical situation (35). The perturbations become unstable if HIlIH 1- (= L) is large. Both the cases are also discussed with imaginary n.

Abstract The stability of the plane interface separating two Rivlin-Ericksen elastico-viscous superposed fluids of uniform densities when the whole system is immersed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field has been studied. The stability analysis has been carried out, for mathematical simplicity, for two highly viscous fluids of equal kinematic viscosities and equal kinematic viscoelasticities. It is found that the stability criterion is independent of the effects of viscosity and viscoelasticity and is dependent on the orientation and magnitude of the magnetic field. The magnetic field is found to stabilize a certain wave-number range of the unstable configuration. The behaviour of growth rates with respect to kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity parameters are examined numerically.

The Magnetic Field

An amplitude dependent criterion for modulational stability of long Alfvén waves parallel to the magnetic field is interpreted in terms of a recently obtained inverse scattering solution to the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It is found that the solitons formed are of two types. In the strongly unstable case, normal solitons are formed. In the transition region of weakly unstable and stable cases, the anomalous type, which in a limiting case becomes the algebraic soliton, dominates. In the strongly stable case, no solitons are formed.

Abstract The Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instability of two superposed plasmas, consisting of interacting ions and neutrals, in a horizontal magnetic field is investigated. The usual magnetohydrodynamic equations, including the permeability of the medium, are modified for finite Larmor radius (FLR) corrections. From the relevant linearized perturbation equations, using normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation for the two superposed fluids of different densities is derived. This relation shows that the growth rate unstability is reduced due to FLR corrections, rotation and the presence of neutrals. The horizontal magnetic field plays no role in the R-T instability. The R-T instability is discussed for various simplified configurations. It remains unaffected by the permeability of the porous medium, presence of neutral particles and rotation. The effect of different factors on the growth rate of R-T instability is investigated using numerical analysis. Corresponding graphs are plotted for showing the effect of these factors on the growth of the R-T instability.

An attempt has been made to investigate the instability of the plane interface between two viscoelastic superposed conducting fluids in the presence of suspended particles and variable horizontal magnetic field through porous medium is studied. The cases of two fluids of uniform densities, viscosities, magnetic fields, and suspended particles number densities separated by a horizontal boundary; and of exponentially varying density, viscosity, suspended particles number density, and magnetic field are considered. It is found that the stability criterion is independent of the effects of viscoelasticity, medium porosity, and suspended particles but is dependent on the orientation and magnitude of the magnetic field. The magnetic field succeeds in stabilizing a certain range of wavenumbers which were unstable in the absence of the magnetic field. The system is found to be stable for potentially stable configuration/stratification. The growth rates are found to increase (for certain wavenumbers) and decrease (for other wavenumbers) with the increase in kinematic viscosity, suspended particles number density, magnetic field, medium permeability and stress relaxation time.

Proper Solutions

The effects of neutral gas friction, on the Rayleigh–Taylor instability of an infinitely conducting plasma of variable density, with ion viscosity and Hall currents, are investigated. For an ambient horizontal magnetic field, it is shown that the solution is characterized by a variational principle. Making use of the existence of this, proper solutions are obtained for a semi-infinite plasma, in which the density is stratified exponentially along the vertical, confined between two planes. In the simultaneous presence of the effects of ion viscosity and Hall currents, it is found that the potentially unstable stratification is unstable for all wavenumber perturbations, irrespective of whether or not the effects of neutral gas friction are included. Further, it is found that the growth rate increases with both Hall currents and neutral gas friction, and decreases with ion viscosity. The influence of the Hall currents and the neutral gas friction, therefore, is destabilizing, while that of ion viscosity is stabilizing. In the absence of Hall currents, it is found that the viscous plasma is stable, even for a potentially unstable stratification, for perturbations confined to a cone about the magnetic field vector. The angle of the cone of stable propagation of an inviscid plasma,. however, decreases with both Hall currents and effects of neutral gas friction.

The Magnetic Field

Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a composite medium with variable density and viscosity is considered by taking into account the frictional effect of collisions of ionized with neutral atoms in the presence of a variable horizontal magnetic field. The criteria determining stability and instability are independent of the effects of viscosity and collisional effects. The magnetic field stabilizes the system which is otherwise unstable in the absence of the magnetic field. The viscosity of the medium has stabilizing as well as destabilizing effect on the growth rates. The collisional frequency has stabilizing effect on the growth rates, but has also destabilizing effect in some region.
