Oscillatory and steady convection in a magnetic field

چکیده
Two-dimensional convection in a Boussinesq ffuid in the presence of an imposed magnetic field is described in terms of a simplified model, which is exact to second order in the amplitude of the motion and appears to be qualitatively correct for larger amplitudes. If the ratio of the magnetic diffusivity to the thermal diffusivity is SUEciently small and the imposed magnetic field is sufficiently large, convection sets in when r = r ( O ) as overstable oscillations, which grow in amplitude as the normalized Rayleigh number r is increased. There is also a branch of steady solutions that bifurcates from the static equilibrium a t r = r"' > do) and stable steady solutions exist for r > rmin. For certain choices of parameters subcritical steady convection, with rmin < de), is found and the oscillatory branch ends on the unstable portion of the steady branch, where the period of the oscillations becomes infinite. In some circumstances there may be a bifurcation from symmetrical t o asymmetrical oscillations, followed by a sequence of bifurcations a t each of which the period doubles. Other choices of parameters allow only supercritical convection with r increasing monotonically on the steady branch; if convection first appears as overstable oscillations the steady branch is then unstable for rce) < r < rmin and there is a Hopf bifurcation at r = rmin. This complicated pattern of behaviour is consistent with the results of numerical experiments on the full two-dimensional problem.

Thermal Convection in a (Kuvshiniski-type) Viscoelastic Rotating Fluid in the Presence of Magnetic Field through Porous Medium (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The effect of magnetic field on an incompressible (Kuvshiniski-Type) viscoelastic rotating fluid heated from below in porous medium is considered. For the case of stationary convection, magnetic field and medium permeability have both stabilizing and destabilizing effect on the thermal convection under some conditions whereas rotation has a stabilizing effect on the thermal convection. In the...

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...

Thermal Field Around a Circular Cylinder with Periodic Vortex Shedding
A numerical study is carried out to investigate the laminar forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible, the Reynolds number ranged from 0.1 to 1000, and the Prandtl number was equal to 0.7. The range of study includes heat transfer in creeping flow (Re40). The equations were discretized by a control-volume-based finite difference techniqu...
