A Note on Thermocapillary Instability in the Presence of a Magnetic Field

We formulate the asymptotic theory of thermocapillary instability in a planar fluid layer heated from below in the presence of a strong magnetic field corresponding to high Hartmann number. Explicit asymptotic expressions are derived for the velocity perturbation, temperature perturbation and elect...
