Abstract

The problem of the onset of double diffusive convection in a couple-stress fluid saturated with a porous medium is studied under the effects of magnetic field, rotation and suspended dust particles. Linear stability analysis based on the method of perturbations of infinitesimal amplitude is performed using the normal mode technique for the case of free-free boundaries. The governing hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic equations of fluid flow are governed by the Brinkman model. The stability analysis examines the effects of various embedded parameters for the stationary mode both analytically and graphically. The principle of exchange of stabilities holds good in the absence of solute gradient parameter. Also, the sufficient conditions responsible for the existence or non-existence of overstability are obtained.
