Abstract
The objective of the present article is to explore the stability of micropolar fluid flow in a vertical channel in the presence of thermal radiation and a transverse magnetic field. The generalized eigenvalue problem is numerically solved by utilizing the Chebyshev spectral collocation method, which is obtained from the perturbed state using the normal mode technique. The numerical data were compared with previously published results for particular cases. The critical modified Grashof number () and the associated wave numbers () are calculated and displayed graphically for different values of the parameters. It is noticed that the boundaries of instability may be increased or decreased with the flow governing parameters because of the presence of a magnetic field and thermal radiation.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids publishes papers in all fields of fluid mechanics. Although investigations in well-established areas are within the scope of the journal, recent developments and innovative ideas are particularly welcome. Theoretical, computational and experimental papers are equally welcome. Mathematical methods, be they deterministic or stochastic, analytical or numerical, will be accepted provided they serve to clarify some identifiable problems in fluid mechanics, and provided the significance of results is explained. Similarly, experimental papers must add physical insight in to the understanding of fluid mechanics.
