Hydromagnetic Stability of Stratified Maxwell Fluid in the Presence of Suspended Particles through a Porous Medium
Authors/Creators
Description
In the present paper, the stability of a stratified Maxwell viscoelastic fluid in the presence of suspended particles and a variable magnetic field through a porous medium has been investigated. The analysis considers the case where density, viscosity, magnetic field, and suspended particle concentration vary exponentially. It is observed that the system becomes unstable for disturbances of all wave numbers under conditions of potentially unstable stratification. The influence of a variable horizontal magnetic field on the stability characteristics has been exam-ined in detail. The results reveal that the growth rate of instability either decreases or increases with an increase in particle density and kinematic viscosity, whereas it increases or decreases with a rise in the permeability of the porous medium, depending on the specific parameter range considered.
