A Linear Stability Analysis of Thermal Convection in a Fluid Layer with Simultaneous Rotation and Magnetic Field Acting in Different Directions
Table 10
Thermal instability analysis in the presence of a rotation and a magnetic field when both bounding surfaces are free: gravity vector parallel to both rotation vector and magnetic field vector . Critical Rayleigh numbers and wave numbers at marginal stability for the onset of stationary convection. Taylor number = for various values of the dimensionless magnetic parameter = . and are the Rayleigh number and the wave number, respectively, obtained by the Tau Chebyshev method. and are the Rayleigh number and the wave number, respectively, obtained by Chandrasekhar [1]. The superscripts 1 and 2 mean the two minima of the Rayleigh number.
