Viscous potential flow analysis of magnetohydrodynamic Rayleigh–Taylor instability with heat and mass transfer

Abstract: The effect of tangential magnetic field on the linear analysis of Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluids is studied when there is heat and mass transfer across the interface. We use an irrotational theory known as viscous potential flow theory; in which viscosity enters through normal stress balance but shearing stresses are assumed to be zero. A quadratic dispersion relation that accounts for the growth of disturbance waves is obtained and stability crite… Show more

“…The general theory of the motions of viscous and viscoelastic fluids was explained [10]. The effect of the magnetic field on the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) of two viscous fluids was investigated [11]. Characteristically, the viscosity originated only in a normal stress tensor.…”

“…To our knowledge, the case concerning finite-thickness media has only been studied when the involved media are ideal fluids or plasmas (Harris 1962, Lau et al 2011. In some research, a viscous fluid has also been considered, but it was assumed to be limited by rigid walls (Awasthi 2014). On the other hand, for the MRT instability involving an elastic medium, it seems to have been studied only for the simplest configuration of two semi-infinite media (Sun & Piriz 2014).…”
