Magneto-inertial convection in rotating fluid spheres
The onset of convection in the form of magneto-inertial waves in a rotating fluid sphere permeated by a constant axial electric current is studied through a perturbation analysis. Explicit expressions for the dependence of the Rayleigh number on the azimuthal wavenumber are derived in the limit of high thermal diffusivity. Results for the cases of thermally infinitely conducting and of nearly t...
متن کاملCritical torsional modes of convection in rotating fluid spheres at high Taylor numbers
A numerical study of the onset of convection in rotating, internally heated, selfgravitating fluid spheres is presented. The exploration of the stability of the conduction state versus the Taylor and the Prandtl numbers supplies a detailed idea of the laws that fulfil the four types of solutions obtained at low Prandtl numbers. The main result found is that axisymmetric (torsional) modes of con...
متن کاملConvection in Rotating Spherical Fluid Shells
Convection driven by thermal buoyancy in rotating spherical bodies of fluid has long been recognized as a fundamental process in the understanding of the properties of planets and stars. Since these objects are rotating in general and since their evolution is associated with the transport of heat from their interiors convection influenced by the Coriolis force does indeed play a dominant role i...
متن کاملThermal convection in a rotating layer of a magnetic fluid
Thermal convection in magnetic fluids can be driven by buoyancy or by magnetic forces (due to the thermomagnetic effect). Depending on the direction of the applied temperature gradient, buoyancy effects can be stabilizing (heating from above) or destabilizing (heating from below), whereas the magnetic forces always play a destabilizing role for magnetic fields perpendicular to the interface. We...
متن کاملThermal Convection of Rotating Micropolar Fluid in Hydromagnetics Saturating A Porous Medium
This paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the thermal instability of a thin layer of electrically conducting micropolar rotating fluid, heated from below in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field in porous medium. A dispersion relation is obtained for a flat fluid layer, contained between two free boundaries using a linear stability analysis theory, and normal mode analysi...
