Abstract

Onset of convection of a Casson nanofluid in the horizontal layer is studied. The normal mode technique has been employed to solve the non dimensional governing equations and this leads to the eigenvalue problem. Neutral stability curves were drawn for various physical parameters. An analytical expressions for the stationary and oscillatory Rayleigh numbers is obtained. It is observed that the Taylor number has a stabilizing effect whereas Casson parameter has a destabilizing effect.
