Abstract

This paper is devoted to an examination of the stability of a horizontal layer of fluid heated below, subject to an effective gravity g acting (approximately) in the direction of the vertical, a magnetic field H and the Coriolis acceleration resulting from a rotation Ω. When g, H and Ω are parallel, the critical Rayleigh number ( R c ) at which convection sets in depends on H and Ω through the non-dimensional parameters Q = μ 2 H 2 d 2 σ/ρv and T = 4Ω 2 d 4 / v 2 where μ, σ and v are the coefficients of magnetic permeability, electrical conductivity and kinematic viscosity, respectively, and d is the depth of the layer considered. In the case when the liquid is confined between two free boundaries the dependence of R c on Q and T is explicitly established. The results reveal some very unexpected features and illustrate the complex behaviour of a fluid under the simultaneous action of a magnetic field and rotation.
