On Thermal Instability in a Rotating Dusty Ferrofluid Layer with Temperature-Dependent Viscosity and Permeable Boundaries
摘要
The present study investigates the effect of temperature-dependent viscosity and rotation on thermal instability in a dusty ferrofluid layer heated from below, confined by permeable boundaries. The inclusion of more general permeable boundaries introduces a novel aspect to the analysis, given its relevance across various disciplines. Using linear stability theory and normal mode analysis, the eigenvalue problem is derived and solved for both oscillatory and stationary convection modes through the application of single-term Galerkin method. Numerical computations of the threshold convective instability parameters were carried out using MATLAB R2021a, and the results are graphically displayed. The impact of key parameters on the onset of convection is analyzed for different combinations of hydrodynamic boundary conditions, providing significant insights into the stability characteristics of the system. It is found that the parameters related to temperature-dependent viscosity (
