Effect of internal heat generation on benard-marangoni convection in micropolar fluid with feedback control

Abstract

The effect of uniform distribution of internal heat generation on the linear stability analysis of the Benard-Marangoni convection in an Eringen's micropolar fluids with feedback control is investigated theoretically. The upper free surface is assumed to be non-deformable and the lower boundary is taken to be rigid and isothermal with fixed temperature and span-vanishing boundaries. The eigenvalue is solved numerically using the Galerkin method. The influence of the internal heat generation; Q and feedback control; K in micropolar fluids with various parameters on the onset of stationary convection has been analysed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
