The thermal instability of a couple-stress fluid with suspended particles heated from below is investigated. Following the linearized stability theory and normal mode analysis, the paper mathematically establishes that the onset of instability at marginal state, cannot manifest itself as stationary convection, if the thermal Rayleigh number R, the couple-stress parameter F and the suspended particles parameter B, satisfy the inequality R ≤ 27 π 4

1. INTRODUCTION Right from the conceptualizations of turbulence, instability of fluid flows is being regarded at its root. The thermal instability of a fluid layer with maintained adverse temperature gradient by heating the underside plays an important role in Geophysics, interiors of the Earth, Oceanography and Atmospheric Physics etc. A detailed account of the theoretical and
experimental study of the onset of Bénard Convection in Newtonian fluids, under varying assumptions of hydrodynamics and hydromagnetics, has been given by Chandrasekhar5. The use of Boussinesq approximation has been made throughout, which states that the density changes are disregarded in all other terms in the equation of motion except the external force term. Sharma12 has considered the effect of suspended particles on the onset of Bénard

convection in hydromagnetics. The fluid has been considered to be Newtonian in all above studies. Scanlon and Segel10 have considered the effect of suspended particles on the onset of BĂŠnard convection and found that the critical Rayleigh number was reduced solely because the heat capacity of the pure fluid was supplemented by that of the particles. With the growing importance of non-Newtonian fluids in modern technology and industries, the investigations on such fluids are desirable. Stokes18 proposed and postulated the theory of couple-stress fluid. One of the applications of couple-stress fluid is its use to the study of the mechanism of lubrication of synovial joints, which has become the object of scientific research. A human joint is a dynamically loaded bearing which has articular cartilage as the bearing and synovial fluid as lubricant. When fluid film is generated, squeeze film action is capable of providing considerable protection to the cartilage surface. The shoulder, knee, hip and ankle joints are the loaded-bearing synovial joints of human body and these joints have low-friction coefficient and negligible wear. Normal synovial fluid is clear or yellowish and is a viscous, nonNewtonian fluid. According to the theory of Stokes18, couple-stresses are found to appear in noticeable magnitude in fluids very large molecules. Since the long chain hylauronic acid molecules are found as additives in synovial fluid. Walicki and Walicka21 modeled synovial fluid as couple-stress fluid in human joints. Sharma and Thakur13 (2000) have studied the thermal convection in couple-stress fluid in porous medium in hydromagnetics. Sharma and Sharma14 have studied the couple-stress fluid heated from
below in porous medium. The use of magnetic field is being made for the clinical purposes in detection and cure of certain diseases with the help of magnetic field devices. Sharma et al.15 have studied the effect of suspended particles on couplestress fluid heated from below and found that suspended particles have stabilizing effect on the system. Sharma and Sharma16 have studied the effect of suspended particles on couple-stress fluid heated from below in the presence of rotation and magnetic field and found that rotation has a stabilizing effect while dust particles have a destabilizing effect on the system. Sunil et al.19 have studied the effect of suspended particles on couple-stress fluid heated and soluted from below in porous medium and found that suspended particles have stabilizing effect on the system. Thermosolutal convection in a couple-stress fluid in the presence of magnetic field and rotation, separately, has been investigated by Kumar and Singh7,17. Kumar and Kumar8 have studied the combined effect of dust particles, magnetic field and rotation on couple-stress fluid heated from below and for the case of stationary convection, found that dust particles have destabilizing effect on the system, where as the rotation is found to have stabilizing effect on the system, however couple-stress and magnetic field are found to have both stabilizing and destabilizing effects under certain conditions. Sunil et al.20 have studied the global stability for thermal convection in a couple-stress fluid heated from below and found couple-stress fluids are thermally more stable than the ordinary viscous fluids.

Pellow and Southwell9 proved the validity of PES for for the classical Rayleigh-Bénard convection problem. Banerjee et al.2 gave a new scheme for combining the governing equations of thermohaline convection, which is shown to lead to the bounds for the complex growth rate of the arbitrary oscillatory perturbations, neutral or unstable for all combinations of dynamically rigid or free boundaries and, Banerjee and Banerjee3 established a criterion on characterization of nonoscillatory motions in hydrodynamics which was further extended by Gupta et al.6. However no such result existed for non-Newtonian fluid configurations, in general and for couple-stress fluid configurations, in particular. Banyal4 have characterized the non-oscillatory motions in couple-stress fluid. Keeping in mind the importance of non-Newtonian fluids, the present paper is an attempt to characterize the onset of instability at marginal state as stationary convection mathematically, in a layer of incompressible couple-stress fluid heated from below in the presence of suspended particles and extend the result of Banyal4. 2. FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM AND PERTURBATION EQUATIONS Considered an infinite, horizontal, incompressible couple-stress fluid layer in the presence of suspended particles, of thickness d, heated from below so that, the temperature and density at the bottom surface z = 0 are T0 , ρ 0 respectively and at the lower surface z = d are Td , ρ d and that a uniform adverse temperature gradient β =

Assuming uniform particles size, spherical shape and small relative velocities between the fluid and particles, the presence of particles adds an extra force term, in the equation of motion (1), proportional to the velocity difference between particles and fluid. The force exerted by the fluid on the particles is equal and opposite to that exerted

Since both the boundaries are maintained at constant temperature, the perturbations in the temperature are zero at the boundaries. The case of two free boundaries is little artificial but it is most appropriate for Stellar atmospheres and enables us to find analytical solutions and to make some qualitative and quantitative conclusions. The appropriate boundary conditions with respect to which equations (16) and (17) must be solved are

Proof: When the instability sets in stationary convection and the `exchange principle` is valid, the neutral or marginal state will be characterized by σ = 0 and hence the relevant governing equations (16) and (17) reduces to

CONCLUSIONS In this paper, the effect of suspended particles on a couple-stress fluid heated from below is considered and the immediate analytic conclusions of the theorem proved above, are as follows: (a). The necessary condition for the onset of instability as stationary convection at marginal state for configuration under consideration, is that the inequality (38) is satisfied. Thus the sufficient condition for the non-existence of stationary convection at marginal state is that R ≤

configuration under consideration. (b). In the inequality (38), the thermal Rayleigh number R 〉 0, is directly proportional to the couple-stress parameter F 〉 0, which clearly mathematically established the stabilizing character of the couple-stress, for the configuration under consideration as derived by Sharma and Sharma16. (c). The suspended particles density parameter B is greater than equal to one (B ≥ 1) and in the inequality (38), the thermal Rayleigh number R 〉 0, is inversely proportional to the suspended particles density parameter B ≥ 1, which clearly mathematically established the destabilizing character of the suspended particles, for the configuration under consideration, as derived by Sharma and Sharma16.
