Magneto convection in a nanofluid layer

TL;DR: In this article, a linear stability analysis for the onset of convection in a nanofluid layer with magnetic field is presented, and it is established that the instability is almost purely a phenomenon due to buoyancy coupled with the conservation of nanoparticles.

Thermal convection in micropolar fluids in porous medium

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of medium permeability on thermal convection in micropolar fluids is considered and it is found that the presence of coupling between thermal and micro-fluid effects may introduce oscillatory motions in the system.

Kinematic and static hypotheses for constitutive modelling of granulates considering particle rotation

TL;DR: In this paper, the macro-scale constitutive law for a granular material is derived from the micro-scale of two interacting particles, and the effects of inter-particle stiffness on the macro scale constitutive constants are discussed.

Convection in a box: linear theory

TL;DR: In this article, the linear stability of a quiescent, three-dimensional rectangular box of fluid heated from below is considered and the value of critical Rayleigh number and preferred wave number for a given size box is determined for boxes with horizontal dimensions h, ¼ ≤ h/d ≤ 6, where d is the depth.

Universal stability of magneto-micropolar fluid motions

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability and uniqueness of an incompressible, electrically conducting linear micropolar fluid with rigid microinclusions, in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field, and in an arbitrary bounded time dependent domain are established.
