The effect of a nonuniform magnetic field on the gravitational instability of a nonuniformly rotating infinitely extending axisymmetric cylinder in a homogenous ferromagnetic medium has been studied. The propagation of the wave is allowed along radial direction. A general dispersion relation, using the normal mode analysis method on the perturbation equations of the problem, is obtained. It is found that Bel and Schatzman criterion determines the gravitational instability of this general problem. Thus, it appears that the effect of non-uniform magnetic field on the gravitational instability as discussed by (Dhiman and Dadwal, 2010) is marginalized by the magnetic polarizability of ferrofluid.

Abstract In this paper, the thermal instability of compressible Walters’ (Model B′) rotating fluid permeated with suspended particles (fine dust) in porous medium in hydromagnetics is considered. By applying normal mode analysis method, the dispersion relation has been derived and solved analytically. It is observed that the rotation, magnetic field, suspended particles and viscoelasticity introduce oscillatory modes. For stationary convection, Walters’ (Model B′) elastico-viscous fluid behaves like an ordinary Newtonian fluid and it is observed that rotation has stabilizing effect, suspended particles are found to have destabilizing effect on the system, whereas the medium permeability has stabilizing or destabilizing effect on the system under certain conditions. The magnetic field has destabilizing effect in the absence of rotation, whereas in the presence of rotation, magnetic field has stabilizing or destabilizing effect 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 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.

This investigation deals with the rotation of magneto-thermoelastic solid with voids subjected to thermal loading due to laser pulse. The bounding plane surface is heated by a non-Gaussian laser beam. The entire porous medium is rotated with a uniform angular velocity. The problem is studied in the context of Green–Naghdi (GN) theory of types II and III, with the effect of rotation, magnetic field, thermal loading and voids. Normal mode analysis is used to solve the physical problem to obtain the exact expressions for the displacement components, stresses, temperature distribution, and change in the volume fraction field, which have been shown graphically by comparison between two types of GN theory (types II and III) in the presence and the absence of rotation and magnetic field and for two values of time on thermoelastic material with voids.

AbstractThe effect of a magnetic field and suspended dust particles on both the Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) and the Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instability of two superimposed streaming magnetized plasmas is investigated. The magnetized fluids are assumed to be incompressible and flowing on top of each other. The usual magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are considered with suspended dust particles. The basic equations of the problem are linearized and the dispersion relation is obtained using normal mode analysis by applying the appropriate boundary conditions. The general dispersion relation is found to be modified due to the presence of the suspended dust particles and of the magnetic field. The effect of the magnetic field appears in the dispersion relation if three-dimensional perturbations of the system are considered. The general conditions of the K-H instability as well as the R-T instability are derived for the considered medium. The stability of the system for both cases is discussed by applying the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Numerical analysis is performed to show the effect of various parameters on the growth rates of the K-H and R-T instabilities. Three different cases of the present configurations are considered and the conditions of instability are obtained. It is found that the conditions for the K-H and R-T instabilities depend on the magnetic field, on the suspended dust particles and on the relaxation frequency of the particles. The magnetic field and particle density have stabilizing influence, while the density difference between the fluids has a destabilizing influence on the growth rate of the K-H and R-T configurations.

The Jeans self-gravitational instability is studied for dense quantum viscous plasma with Hall term and intrinsic magnetization generated by collective electron spin. The quantum magnetohydrodynamic model is employed to formulate the basic equations of the problem. The dispersion relation is obtained using the normal mode analysis, and further reduced for both transverse and longitudinal modes of propagation. The transverse mode of propagation is found to be unaffected by the Hall term but affected by quantum effect, viscosity, and magnetization parameters. The Jeans criterion of instability in the transverse direction is modified by Alfven velocity, magnetization parameter, and quantum effect. The non-gravitating magnetized mode is obtained in the longitudinal direction, which is modified by Hall parameter and is not affected by quantum term, whereas the gravitational mode is unaffected by the magnetization parameter but affected by viscosity and quantum parameters. It is observed that the Jeans condition of instability is affected by the quantum term. The growth rate of Jeans instability is plotted for various values of magnetization, quantum, and viscosity parameters of the quantum plasma medium.

AbstractStars are formed as a result of the gravitational (Jeans) collapse of dense clumps in interstellar clouds. These clouds are partially ionized by nearby ionizing sources. We investigate the gravitational instability in such molecular clouds considering the non-Boltzmannian distribution for electrons and ions, which is more realistic than the Boltzmannian distribution. Assuming the perturbation (fluctuation) response in a radial direction as a mathematical analogue of the x-direction in the plane geometry approximation in the form f ∼ exp(ikx–iωt), the equations of motion for different species of the multi-fluid plasma are linearized. Jeans' swindle is used as a local approximation for the equilibrium and the dispersion relation is derived by usual normal mode analysis. Then, an analytical solution to the dispersion equation with an explanation of the effects on star formation is given.
