The effect of a uniform magnetic field on the onset of steady Bénard- Marangoni convection in a layer of conducting fluid

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2368192





We use a combination of analytical and numerical techniques to analyze the effect of a uniform vertical magnetic field on the onset of steady Bénard-Marangoni convection in a horizontal layer of quiescent, electrically conducting fluid subject to a uniform vertical temperature gradient. The critical values of the Rayleigh and Marangoni numbers for the onset of steady convection are calculated and the latter is found to be critically dependent on the non-dimensional Crispation and Bond numbers. The stability of the layer to long wavelength disturbances is analyzed and the two different asymptotic limits of strong surface tension (small Crispation number) and strong magnetic field (large Chandrasekhar number) are investigated.
