A Linear Stability Analysis of Thermal Convection in a Fluid Layer with Simultaneous Rotation and Magnetic Field Acting in Different Directions
Figure 5
Thermal instability analysis in the presence of a rotation and a magnetic field. Gravity vector parallel to the rotation vector (). Magnetic field vector at different values of . The dependence of the Rayleigh number for the onset of instability on the wave number when and (for free surfaces). Left panel: (curve labelled a), (curve labelled b), (curve labelled c), (curve labelled d), (curve labelled e), (curve labelled f), and (curve labelled g). Right panel: (curve labelled a), (curve labelled b), (curve labelled c), (curve labelled d), and (curve labelled e).
