ELECTROHYDRODYNAMIC THERMAL INSTABILITY IN A WALTERS’ (MODEL B') ROTATING NANOFLUID SATURATING A POROUS MEDIUM
The onset of thermal instability in a dielectric rotating nanofluid layer saturating a porous medium with vertical AC electric field is investigated by employing Darcy model for porous medium. The rheology of the nanofluid is described by Walters’ (model B’) for calculating the shear stresses from the velocity gradients. The employed mo...
