A Mathematical Theorem on the Onset of Stationary Convection in Couple-Stress Fluid
The thermal instability of a couple-stress fluid heated from below is investigated. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the paper mathematically establishes that the onset of instability at marginal state, cannot manifest itself as stationary convection, if the ther...
