Abstract

The effect of Suction – injection combination on the onset of Rayleigh – Bénard electroconvection micropolar fluid is investigated by making a linear stability analysis. The Rayleigh-Ritz technique is used to obtain the eigenvalues for different velocity and temperature boundary combinations. The influence of various parameters on the onset of convection has been analysed. It is found that the effect of Prandtl number on the stability of the system is dependent on the SIC being pro-gravity or anti-gravity. A similar Pe-sensitivity is found in respect of the critical wave number. It is observed that the fluid layer with suspended particles heated from below is more stable compared to the classical fluid layer without suspended particles.
