Abstract

The effect of a uniform vertical magnetic field on thermosolutal convection in a layer of an electrically conducting couple-stress fluid heated and soluted from below is considered. For the case of stationary convection, the stable solute gradient, magnetic field, and couple-stress parameter have stabilizing effect on the system. It is also observed that a stable solute gradient and a magnetic field introduce oscillatory modes in the system, but in the absence of a stable solute gradient and a magnetic field, oscillatory modes are not allowed and the principle of exchange of stabilities is valid.
