Effects of Internal Heat Generation and Variable Viscosity on Onset of Rayleigh-Benard Convection
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
In the present study, onset of stationary Rayleigh-Benard convective instability in a fluid layer, with internal heating and thermally dependent viscosity has been investigated by means of linear stability analysis. The dependence of viscosity is assumed to be exponential. The resulting eigen value problem is solved using a regular perturbation technique with wave number a as a perturbation parameter. The viscosity parameter and the presence of internal heat source play a decisive role on the stability characteristics of the system. It is observed that both stabilizing and destabilizing factors can be enhanced because of the simultaneous presence of a volumetric heat source and variable viscosity so that a more precise control (suppress or augment) of thermal convective instability in a fluid layer is possible.
