Abstract

The thermosolutal convection in a layer of Maxwellian viscoelastic fluid heated and soluted from below in porous medium is considered. The effects of uniform magnetic field and uniform rotation on the thermosolutal convection are also considered. For stationary convection, the Maxwellian viscoelastic fluid behaves like a Newtonian fluid. The sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of overstability are obtained. The critical Rayleigh number is found to increase with the increase in magnetic field, rotation and stable solute gradient.
