Convection in a magnetic nanofluid saturating a porous medium under the influence of a variable gravity field
This paper presents a numerical investigation of the onset of instability in a thin magnetic nanofluid (or ferrofluid) layer saturating a porous medium, subject to a gravity field which varies with distance across the layer. A model that accounts for the effect of Brownian diffusion, thermophoresis,...
