Stability Of Stratified Couple-Stress Dusty Fluid In The Presence Of Magnetic Field Through Porous Medium, Vivek Kumar Dec 2011

Stability Of Stratified Couple-Stress Dusty Fluid In The Presence Of Magnetic Field Through Porous Medium, Vivek Kumar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The combined effect of magnetic field and dust particles on the stability of a stratified couplestress fluid through a porous medium is considered. For stable stratification, the system is found to be stable for disturbances of all wave numbers. The magnetic field succeeds in stabilizing the potentially unstable stratifications for a certain wave-number range which were unstable in the absence of the magnetic field. Discussions of oscillatory and non-oscillatory modes are also made.
