Rayleigh--Taylor instability of a continuously stratified magnetofluid under a general rotation field
Journal Article

· Phys. Fluids A; (United States)
The Rayleigh--Taylor instability of a continuously stratified magnetofluid under a general rotation field and a vertically stratified horizontal magnetic field is investigated. The upper bound for the growth rate of the perturbation is found and corrections to that obtained by Chakraborty (Phys. Fluids /bold 25/, 743 (1982)) are given. The theory predicts the formation of rolls appearing in natural rotating convection and magnetoconvection.
