THERMOHALINE CONVECTION IN MICROPOLAR FERROMAGNETIC FLUID WITH SORET EFFECT AND SPARSELY DISTRIBUTED POROUS MEDIUM: A BRINKMAN MODEL

Abstract

This theoretical investigation on a horizontal micropolar ferromagnetic fluid layer with Soret effect is studied. The Brinkman porous medium is taken to analyze in the study. The geometry is considered for fluid layer whose portion of the bottom is isothermally heated from below and it is salted from above. The theory of linear stability is taken in to account to reduce the non-linear effects. The normal mode method is used to analyze the system and two free boundaries are considered. The exact solution is calculated to investigate the entire system. The thermal magnetic Rayleigh number N_SC is examined analytically for sufficient large values of M₁. An attempt is taken to analyze the porous effect on the convective system in various situations.
