Mathematics

This thesis presents a theoretical study of linear and non-linear analyses of Rayleigh–Bénard–Marangoni/Rayleigh–Bénard electro convection in a micropolar fluid. The effects of non-uniform basic temperature gradient, suction–injection combination and gravity modulation have been studied in the presence of electric field. The effect of heat transfer in a micropolar fluid in the presence of electric field is also studied and results are presented graphically and discussed qualitatively. These problems assume greater importance in geophysics, astrophysics, oceanography, and engineering and in space situations with g-jitter connected with gravity stimulation study. Keeping in mind the importance and relevance of externally controlled internal convection in a micropolar liquid.
