Abstract

The problem of convection in a variable gravity field with magnetic field effect is studied using methods of linear instability theory and non-linear energy theory. Then, the accuracies of both the linear instability and global non-linear energy stability thresholds are tested using a three-dimensional simulation. The strong stabilizing effect of gravity field and magnetic field is shown. Moreover, the results support the assertion that the linear theory is very accurate in predicting the onset of convective motion, and thus regions of stability.
