The Onset Of Stationary And Oscillatory Convection In A Horizontal Porous Layer Saturated With Viscoelastic Liquid Heated And Soluted From Below: Effect Of Anisotropy, Vipin K. Tyagi, Jaimala ., S. C. Agrawal Jun 2013

The Onset Of Stationary And Oscillatory Convection In A Horizontal Porous Layer Saturated With Viscoelastic Liquid Heated And Soluted From Below: Effect Of Anisotropy, Vipin K. Tyagi, Jaimala ., S. C. Agrawal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The onset of double diffusive stationary and oscillatory convection in a viscoelastic Oldroyd type fluid saturated in an anisotropic porous layer heated and soluted from below is studied. The flow is governed by the extended Darcy model for Oldroyd fluid. Stability analysis based on the method of perturbations of infinitesimal amplitude is performed using the normal mode technique. The analysis examines the effect of the Darcy Rayleigh number, the solutal Darcy the Rayleigh number, the relaxation time, the retardation time and the Lewis number. Important conclusions include the destabilizing effect of the relaxation time, the Darcy Rayleigh number and the …


Multimessenger Approach To Search For Cosmic Ray Anisotropies, Larry David Buroker May 2013

Multimessenger Approach To Search For Cosmic Ray Anisotropies, Larry David Buroker

Theses and Dissertations

The origin of the highest energy cosmic rays is still unknown. The discovery of their sources will reveal the workings of the most energetic astrophysical accelerators in the universe. Recent international efforts have brought us closer to unveiling this mystery. Possible ultra-high energy cosmic ray sources have been narrowed down with the confirmation of an "ankle" and the GZKlike spectral feature at the high-end of the energy spectrum. A clear resolution of the ultra-high energy mystery calls for the search of anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic rays. In this thesis, we adopt the so-called "multi-messenger" approach …
