Abstract

The effect of throughflow and magnetic field on the onset of Benard convection in a horizontal layer of micropolar fluid permeated between two rigid, isothermal and micro-rotation free boundaries is studied. The determination of the critical Rayleigh number entails in solving the eigenvalue problem numerically for which the single-term Galerkin method is employed. It is established that both stabilizing and destabilizing factors can be enhanced by throughflow.
