Abstract This paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the effect of rotation on a layer of a ferromagnetic fluid permeated with dust particles, heated and soluted from below subjected to a transverse uniform magnetic field. For a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries, an exact solution is obtained using a linearized stability theory and a normal mode analysis method. For the case of stationary convection, non-buoyancy magnetization and dust particles have always a destabilizing effect, whereas stable solute gradient and rotation have a stabilizing effect on the onset of instability. The critical wave number and the critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number for the onset of instability are also determined numerically for sufficiently large values of buoyancy magnetization M1. Graphs have been plotted by giving numerical values to the parameters, to depict the stability characteristics. It is observed that the critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number is reduced solely because the heat capacity of clean fluid is supplemented by that of the dust particles. The principle of exchange of stabilities is found to hold true for the ferromagnetic fluid heated from below in the absence of dust particles, stable solute gradient and rotation. The oscillatory modes are introduced due to the presence of the dust particles, stable solute gradient and rotation, which were non-existent in their absence. The sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability are also obtained. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction In the last millennium, the investigation on ferromagnetic fluid attracted researchers because of the increase of applications of magnetic fluids. The most famous application of magnetic fluids is the sealing of rotating shafts. This advantage is commonly used in various technical applications like the sealing of hard disc drives, rotating X-ray tubes and rotating vacuum feed-throughs where reliable sealing at low friction is required. The use of magnetic fluids as a heat transfer medium that may be magnetically hold in a certain position is

nowadays the commercially most important branch of ferrofluid manufacturing. The major application in this field is cooling of loudspeakers, enabling a significant increase of the maximum acoustical power without any geometrical changes of the speaker system. The third important field of application of magnetic fluids is their use in biomedical applications. For examples, their use as a contrast medium in X-ray examinations [1] and for positioning tamponade for retinal detachment repair in eye surgery [2] has been reported. Rosensweig [3] has given an authoritative introduction to research on magnetic liquids in his monograph and the study of the effect of magnetization yields interesting information. This magnetization, in general, is function of the magnetic field, temperature and density of the fluid. Any variation of these quantities can induce a change of body force distribution in the fluid. This leads to convection in ferrofluids in the presence of magnetic field gradient. This mechanism is known as ferroconvection, which is similar to Be´nard convection. A detailed account of the theoretical and experimental results of the onset of thermal instability (Be´nard convection) in a fluid (non-magnetic) layer under varying assumptions of hydrodynamics and hydromagnetics has been given in the celebrated monograph by Chandrasekhar [4]. The convective instability of a ferromagnetic fluid for a fluid layer heated from below in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field has been considered by Finlayson [5]. Thermoconvective stability of ferrofluids without considering buoyancy effects has been investigated by Lalas and Carmi [6], whereas Shliomis [7] analyzed the linearized relation for magnetized perturbed quantities at the limit of instability. The thermal convection in a magnetic fluid has been considered by Zebib [8], whereas the stability of a static magnetic fluid under the action of an external pressure drop has been studied by Polevikov [9]. Schwab et al. [10] investigated experimentally the Finlayson’s problem in the case of a strong magnetic field and detected the onset of convection by plotting the Nusselt number versus the Rayleigh number. Then, the critical Rayleigh number corresponds to a discontinuity in the slope. Later, Stiles and Kagan [11] examined the experimental problem reported by Schwab et al. [10] and generalized the Finlayson’s model assuming that under a strong magnetic field, the rotational viscosity augments the shear viscosity. The Be´nard convection in ferromagnetic fluids has been considered by many authors [12–22]. The ferromagnetic fluid has been considered to be clean in all the above studies. In many situations, the fluid is often not pure but contains suspended/dust particles. Saffman [23] has considered the stability of laminar flow of a dusty gas. Scanlon and Segel [24] have considered the effects of suspended particles on the onset of Be´nard convection, whereas Sharma et al. [25] have studied the effect of suspended particles on the onset of Be´nard convection in hydromagnetics. The suspended particles were thus found to destabilize the layer. Palaniswamy and Purushotham [26] have studied the stability of shear flow of stratified fluids with fine dust and found the effects of fine dust to increase the region of instability. On the other hand, the multiphase fluid systems are concerned with the motion of a liquid or gas containing immiscible inert identical particles. Of all multiphase fluid systems observed in nature, blood flows in arteries, flow in rocket tubes, dust in gas cooling systems to enhance the heat transfer processes, movement of inert solid particles in atmosphere, sand or other particles in sea or ocean beaches are the most common examples of multiphase fluid systems. Naturally studies of these systems are mathematically interesting and physically useful for various good reasons. The effect of dust particles on non-magnetic fluids has been investigated by many authors [27–30]. In the standard Be´nard problem the instability is driven by a density difference caused by a temperature difference between the upper and lower planes bounding the fluid. If the fluid is additionally has salt dissolved in it then there are potentially two destabilizing sources for the density difference, the temperature field and salt field. When there are two effects such as this, the phenomenon of convection which arises is called double-diffusive convection or thermohaline convection. Vaidyanathan et al. [31] studied ferrothermohaline convection in which a horizontal layer of an incompressible ferromagnetic fluid of thickness d in the presence of transverse magnetic field, heated from below and salted from above is considered. They found that the salinity of a ferromagnetic fluid enables the fluid to get destabilized more when it is salted from above. The really interesting situation from both a physical and a mathematical viewpoint arises when the layer is simultaneously heated from below and salted from below. More recently, Sunil et al. [32] have studied the effect of magnetic field dependent viscosity on thermosolutal convection in a ferromagnetic fluid. In view of the above investigations, it is attempted to discuss the effect of rotation on a ferromagnetic fluid heated and soluted from below in the presence of dust particles, subjected to a vertical magnetic field. The present study can serve as a theoretical support for experimental investigations e.g. evaluating the influence

of impurities in a ferromagnetic fluid on thermal convection phenomena. This problem, to the best of our knowledge, has not been investigated yet. 2. Mathematical formulation of the problem Consider an infinite, horizontal, electrically non-conducting incompressible thin ferromagnetic fluid layer of thickness d, embedded in dust particles, heated and soluted from below (see Fig. 1). A uniform magnetic field H0 acts along the vertical direction which is taken as z-axis. The temperature T and solute concentration C at the bottom and top surfaces z ¼ 12 d are T0, T1 and C0, C1, respectively, and a uniform temperature gradient b ð¼ j dT jÞ and a uniform solute gradient b0 ð¼ j dC jÞ are maintained. The whole system is assumed dz dz to rotate with angular velocity X along the vertical axis, which is taken as z-axis. Both the boundaries are taken to be free and perfect conductors of heat. The gravity field g = (0, 0, g) and uniform vertical magnetic field intensity H = (0, 0, H0) pervade the system. The mathematical equations governing the motion of a ferromagnetic fluid for the above model are as follows: The continuity equation for an incompressible ferromagnetic fluid is r q ¼ 0.

where q, q0, q, l and p are the fluid density, reference density, velocity, dynamic viscosity (constant) and pressure of ferromagnetic fluid, respectively; t and B denote, respectively, the time and magnetic induction. qd(x, t) and N(x, t) denote velocity and number density of the dust particles, respectively. x = (x, y, z) and K = 6plg, g being the particle radius, is the Stokes drag coefficient. Assuming a uniform particle size, a spherical shape, and small relative velocities between the fluid and dust particles, the presence of dust particles adds an extra force term in the equations of motion (2), proportional to the velocity difference between the dust particles and 2 the fluid. The effect of rotation contributes two terms: (a) centrifugal force q20 gradjX rj and (b) coriolis z-axis

force 2q0(q · X). In Eq. (2), p ¼ p0 12 q0 jX rj is the reduced pressure, whereas p 0 stands for fluid pressure. Two additional simplifications are assumed in Eq. (2): we assume the viscosity is isotropic and independent of the magnetic field intensity. Both approximations simplify the analysis without changing the ultimate conclusion. We also use the Boussinesq approximation by allowing the density to change only in the gravitational body force term. Since density variations are mainly due to variations in temperature and solute concentration, the equation of state for the fluid is given by q ¼ q0 ½1 aðT T a Þ þ a0 ðC C a Þ;

Since the force exerted by the fluid on the particles is equal and opposite to that exerted by the particles on the fluid, there must be an extra force term, equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, in the equations of motion for the particles. The buoyancy force on the particles is neglected. Inter-particle reactions are also ignored since we assume that the distances between particles are quite large compared with their diameters. The effects due to pressure, gravity, viscous force on the particles are negligibly small, and therefore ignored.

Only the spatially varying parts of H0 and M0 contribute to the analysis, so that the direction of the external magnetic field is unimportant and the convective phenomenon is the same whether the external magnetic field is parallel or antiparallel to the gravitational force. 3.

4. Exact solution for free boundaries Here we consider the case where both boundaries are free as well as perfect conductors of heat. The case of two free boundaries is of little physical interest, but it is mathematically important because one can derive an exact solution, whose properties guide our analysis. Here we consider the case of an infinite magnetic susceptibility v and we neglect the deformability of the horizontal surfaces.

Here we put h1 = (1 + h) and h01 ¼ ð1 þ h0 Þ. In the absence of dust particles, the values of h1 and h01 is one. Since the marginal state dividing stability from instability is stationary, this means that at the onset of instability there is no relative velocity between particles and fluid and hence no particle drag on the fluid. Therefore, the critical Rayleigh number is reduced solely because the heat capacity of the clean fluid is supplemented by that of the suspended (dust) particles.

This shows that, for a stationary convection, the non-buoyancy magnetization and dust particles are found to have a destabilizing effect, whereas stable solute gradient and rotation have a stabilizing effect on the system.

The values of critical wave number for the onset of instability are determined numerically using Newton– dN Raphson method by the condition dx ¼ 0. With x1 determined as a solution of Eq. (54), Eq. (53) will give 1 the required critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number Nc. The critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number (Nc), depends on the non-buoyancy magnetization parameter M3, Taylor number T A1 , stable solute gradient S1, dust particles parameter h1 and dust particles parameter analogous to solute h01 . Values of Nc determined in this fashion for various values of M3, T A1 , S1, h1 and h01 are given in Tables 1 and 2 and the results are further illustrated in Figs. 2–5. Figs. 2–5 represent the plots of critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number Nc versus non-buoyancy magnetization parameter M3 [for various values of T A1 ], dust particles parameter h1 [for various values of S1], stable solute gradient S1 [for various values of M3] and Taylor number T A1 [for various values of h1], respectively. Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate that as non-buoyancy magnetization parameter M3 and dust particle parameter h1 increase, the critical magnetic Rayleigh number (Nc) decreases. Therefore, lower values of Nc are needed for onset of convection with an increase in M3 and h1, hence justifying the destabilizing effect of non-buoyancy magnetization and dust particles. It is evident from Figs. 4 and 5 that stable solute gradient and rotation have always a stabilizing effect on the system. It is also observed from Tables 1 and 2 that in the absence of dust particles ðh1 ¼ 1; h01 ¼ 1Þ, the critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number is very high however in the presence of dust particles ðh1 > 1; h01 > 1Þ, critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number is reduced solely because the heat capacity of clean fluid is supplemented by that of the dust particles. 6. The case of oscillatory modes Here we examine the possibility of oscillatory modes, if any, on stability problem due to the presence of stable solute gradient, rotation, dust particles and magnetization. Equating the imaginary parts of Eq. (40), we obtain

It is evident from Eq. (55) that r1 may be either zero or non-zero, meaning that the modes may be either nonoscillatory or oscillatory.

7. The case of overstability The present section is devoted to find the possibility as to whether instability may occur as overstability. Since we wish to determine the Rayleigh number for the onset of instability via a state of pure oscillations, it suffices to find conditions for which (40) will admit of solutions with r1 real.

Equating real and imaginary parts of (40) and eliminating R1 between them, we obtain A4 c41 þ A3 c31 þ A2 c21 þ A1 c1 þ A0 ¼ 0;
ð58Þ
where c1 ¼ r21 ; A3 ¼ s41 L21 L7 ðL2 þ L1 Þ þ s41 L23 L7 ðL2 þ L1 Þ b4

and the coefficients A0, A1, A2, being quite lengthy and not needed in the discussion of overstability, have not been written here. Since r1 is real for overstability, the four values of c1 ð¼ r21 Þ are positive. The sum of roots of (58) is AA34 , and if this is to be negative, then A3 > 0 and A4 > 0. Eqs. (59) and (60) shows that this is clearly impossible if f >

ð61Þ
L2 > L1 ;

h 0 1 i.e. if f > 1M 0 , Pr > Ps, Pr > Ps + PrM2 and hPr > h Ps and P r > h, which implies that 2

P r > P s þ P rM 2;
hP r > h0 P s
and

ð62Þ
and the other inequality Pr > Ps being automatically satisfied in view of (62). Thus, for ðq0 C V ;H l0 K 3 H 0 Þð1 M 02 Þ > q0 C pt , Pr > Ps + PrM2, hP r > h0 P s and P r > 1h, overstability cannot occur and the principle of the exchange of stabilities is valid. Hence the above conditions are the sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability, the violation of which does not necessarily imply the occurrence of overstability. 8. Discussion of results and conclusions The effect of rotation on a ferromagnetic fluid permeated with dust particles, heated and soluted from below in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field has been studied. We have investigated the effects of non-buoyancy magnetization, rotation, stable solute gradient and dust particles on the onset of convection. The principal conclusions from the analysis of this paper are as under: (i) For the case of stationary convection for buoyancy magnetization parameter M1 sufficiently small, the non-buoyancy magnetization and dust particles have always a destabilizing effect whereas rotation and stable solute gradient have always a stabilizing effect on the system. (ii) The critical wave numbers and critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh numbers for the onset of instability are also determined numerically for sufficiently large values of buoyancy magnetization parameter M1 and the results are depicted graphically. The effects of governing parameters on the stability of the system are discussed below. • Figs. 2 and 3, display the destabilizing effect of non-buoyancy magnetization and dust particles, respectively. Therefore, lower values of Nc are needed for onset of convection with an increase in M3 and h1. The destabilizing effect of dust particles on non-magnetic fluid is accounted by many authors [24–30] and is found to be valid for a ferromagnetic fluid also. • We have also looked into the effect of stable solute gradient S1. Fig. 4 demonstrates the effect of S1. It is observed that a stable solute gradient delays the onset of convection. This is in contrast to the case
Sunil et al. / Applied Mathematics and Computation 177 (2006) 614–628
627
of ‘‘soluted from above’’ where a unstable solute gradient have a destabilizing effect on the system [31,33]. • Fig. 5 depicts the effect of T A1 . It is observed that rotation T A1 delays the onset of convection. In conclusion, we see that the critical stability parameter, Nc is reduced in the presence of dust particles because the heat capacity of the clean fluid is supplemented by that of the suspended (dust) particles. (iii) The principle of exchange of stabilities is found to hold true for the ferromagnetic fluid heated from below in the absence of dust particles, stable solute gradient and rotation. The oscillatory modes are introduced due to the presence of the dust particles, stable solute gradient and rotation, which were non-existent in their absence. (iv) The conditions ðq0 C V ;H l0 K 3 H 0 Þð1 M 02 Þ > q0 C pt , Pr > Ps + PrM2, hP r > h0 P s and P r > 1h are the sufficient for the non-existence of overstability. Some special cases are as under: • In the absence of magnetic field (and hence in the absence of magnetic parameters i.e. non-magnetic fluid) the above conditions, as expected, reduces to CV > Cpt i.e. the specific heat of fluid at constant volume is greater than the specific heat of dust particles, K 1 < K 01 i.e. the thermal conductivity is less than the solute conductivity and P r > 1h, which is in good agreement with the analytical and previous results obtained earlier [25–27]. • In the absence of magnetic field, stable solute gradient and dust particles, the above conditions reduces to Pr > 1. Thus, in the absence of dust particles, rotation contributes Pr > 1 (Chandrasekhar [4]) as a condition for non-existence of overstability, but in the presence of dust particles, rotation C contributes a modified condition P r > 1h, where h ¼ f Cptv .
