AbstractThe thermosolutal instability of couple-stress fluid in the presence of uniform vertical rotation is considered. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion is obtained. For the case of stationary convection, the stable solute gradient and rotation have stabilizing effects on the system, whereas the couple-stress has both stabilizing and destabilizing effects. The dispersion relation is also analyzed numerically. The stable solute gradient and the rotation introduce oscillatory modes in the system, which did not occur in their absence. The sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability are also obtained.

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.

Thermosolutal instability in a compressible Walters B’ viscoelastic fluid with suspended particles through a porous medium is considered. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. For stationary convection, the Walters B’ viscoelastic fluid behaves like a Newtonian fluid and it is found that suspended particles and medium permeability have a destabilizing effect whereas the stable solute gradient and compressibility have a stabilizing effect on the system. Graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values to the parameters to depict the stability characteristics. The stable solute gradient and viscoelasticity are found to introduce oscillatory modes in the system which are non-existent in their absence.

The double-diffusive convection in a compressible couple-stress fluid layer heated and soluted from below through porous medium is considered in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. For stationary convection, the compressibility, stable solute gradient, magnetic field, and couple-stress postpone the onset of convection whereas medium permeability hastens the onset of convection. Graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values to the parameters to depict the stability characteristics. The stable solute gradient and magnetic field introduce oscillatory modes in the system, which were non-existent in their absence. A condition for the system to be stable is obtained by using the Rayleigh-Ritz inequality. The sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability are also obtained.

The effect of a uniform vertical magnetic field on thermosolutal convection in a layer of an electrically conducting couple-stress fluid heated and soluted from below is considered. For the case of stationary convection, the stable solute gradient, magnetic field, and couple-stress parameter have stabilizing effect on the system. It is also observed that a stable solute gradient and a magnetic field introduce oscillatory modes in the system, but in the absence of a stable solute gradient and a magnetic field, oscillatory modes are not allowed and the principle of exchange of stabilities is valid.

AbstractThermal Instability (Benard’s Convection) in the presence of uniform rotation and uniform magnetic field (separately) is studied. Using the linearized stability theory and normal mode analyses the dispersion relation is obtained in each case. In the case of rotatory Benard’s stationary convection compressibility and rotation postpone the onset of convection whereas the couple-stress have duel character onset of convection depending on rotation parameter. While in the absence of rotation couple-stress always postpones the onset of convection. On the other hand, magnetic field on thermal instability problem on couple-stress fluid for stationary convection couple-stress parameter and magnetic field postpones the onset of convection. The effect of compressibility also postpones the onset of convection in both cases as rotation and magnetic field. Graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values to the parameters to depict the stationary characteristics. Further, the magnetic field and rotation are found to introduce oscillatory modes which were non-existent in their absence and then the principle of exchange of stability is valid. The sufficient conditions for non-existence of overstability are also obtained.

The thermal instability of a layer of a couple-stress fluid acted on by a uniform rotation is considered. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. For stationary convection it is found that rotation has a stabilizing effect, whereas the couple-stress has both stabilizing and destabilizing effects. It is found that the presence of rotation introduces oscillatory modes in the system. A sufficient condition for the non-existence of overstability is also obtained.

The aim of the present research was to study the effect of uniform rotation on the layer of a couple-stress fluid heated from below in porous medium. Following the linearized stability theory, Boussinesq approximation and normal mode analysis, the dispersion relation is obtained. The stationary convection, stability of the system and oscillatory modes are discussed. For the case of stationary convection, it is found that rotation has a stabilizing effect, whereas the couple-stress parameter and medium permeability have both stabilizing and destabilizing effects on the system. It is found that the presence of rotation introduces oscillatory modes in the system which were non-existent in its absence. A sufficient condition for the non-existent of overstability is also obtained.

The outset of convection in a thin layer of couple stress fluid is analyzed using the linear stability analysis when the fluid is heated from below. In order to assimilate the inertial effects Maxwell-Cattaneo law is used in lieu of the classical Fourier's heat conduction law. The normal mode analysis is used to arrive at the eigenvalues of the perturbed state and a regular perturbation method to find the analytical solutions. The effect of Cattaneo number, couple stress parameter and Prandtl number is discussed and it is concluded that gravity modulation can delay or advance the onset of convection.

Abstract The Triple-Diffusive convection in Walters’ (Model B') fluid with varying gravity field is considered in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field in porous medium. For the case of stationary convection, the magnetic field, varying gravity field and the stable solute gradients have stabilizing effects whereas the medium permeability has destabilizing (or stabilizing) effect on the system under certain conditions. A linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been carried out to study the onset convection. The kinematic viscoelasticity has no effect on the stationary convection. The solute gradients, magnetic field, varying gravity field, porosity and kinematic viscoelasticity introduce oscillatory modes in the system, which were non-existent in their absence. The sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability are also obtained. The results are also shown graphically.
