A characterization theorem in magnetothermohaline convection

On Magnetohydrodynamic Veronis’s Thermohaline Convection

“…A good account of thermohaline convection problems is as studied by Gupta et al [6,7,8], Banerjee et al [1,2,3] and Mohan [10]. For the magnetohydrodynamic Bénard convection problem, Banerjee et al [3] noticed some shortcomings in the solution of problem as derived by Chandrasekhar [4].…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Consider an electrically conducting viscous Boussinesq fluid confined between two boundaries and of infinite horizontal extension in the presence of uniform vertical magnetic field, acting parallel but opposite to the force field of gravity, and being acted upon by a uniform vertical adverse temperature gradient. Then under appropriate conditions, a phenomenon of more general convective motions, an outcome of hydrodynamic instability, is realised which is termed as magnetohydrodynamic Veronis's thermohaline convection (Veronis [17], [18]), Shirtcliffe [14], Turner [16], Normand et al [11], Chen and Johnson [5], Rudraih and Shivkumara [13])…”
