Sufficient Conditions for Stability of Completely Confined Fluids in Presence of Magnetic Field
Keywords:
Electrically conducting, Incompressible fluid, Concentration gradients, Rayleigh number
Abstract
Effect of magnetic field on the electrically conducting incompressible fluid, completely confined in a smooth container of arbitrary shape, has been studied. The temperature gradient, concentration gradients and time independent magnetic field are assumed to act parallel to body force. Two Rayleigh numbers i.e. Modified Rayleigh number M R and critical Rayleigh number Rc have been obtained. It is found that instability occurs if MR<Re.
