A Linear Stability Analysis of Thermal Convection in a Fluid Layer with Simultaneous Rotation and Magnetic Field Acting in Different Directions
Figure 2
Thermal instability analysis in the presence of a rotation and a magnetic field. Gravity vector parallel to both rotation vector and magnetic field vector. The dependence of the Rayleigh number () on the wave number () when . Left panels: (curves labelled a), (curves labelled b), (curves labelled c), circles: pure rotation without magnetic field. Right panels: (continuous lines), (dashed lines), (dotted lines), (dash-dotted lines), asterisks: pure magnetic field , without rotation. Row (a): free boundaries. Row (b): rigid boundaries.
