The paper mathematically establishes that the complex growth rate (p r , p i ) of an arbitrary neutral or unstable oscillatory perturbation of growing amplitude, in a triply diffusive fluid layer with one of the components as heat with diffusivity , must lie inside a semicircle in the right-half of the (p r , p i )-plane whose centre is origin and radius equals (where, R 1 and R 2 are the Rayleigh numbers for the two concentration components with diffusivities 1 and 2 (with no loss of generality, > 1 > 2 ) and is the Prandtl number. Further, it is proved that above result is uniformly valid for quite general nature of the bounding surfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
