Abstract


analogous to magnetohydrodynamic thermohaline convection problem of Veronis (1965) type has been established. It is shown that the total kinetic energy associated with a disturbance exceeds the sum of its total magnetic and concentration energies in the parameter regime Qσ12 + R1σ/4τ21π4 + R2σ/4τ22π4 + ⋯+ Rn-1σ/τ2n-1π4 ≤ 1, where Q,σ,σ112,…,τn-1,R1,R2,…,Rn-1 represent Chandrasekhar number, Prandtl number, magnetic Prandtl number, Lewis number for first concentration component, Lewis number for second concentration component, Lewis number for (n − 1)th concentration component, concentration Rayleigh number for first component, concentration Rayleigh number for second component, concentration Rayleigh number for (n - 1)th component respectively. Further, this result is uniformly valid for any combination of rigid or free boundaries whether perfectly conducting or insulating.
