Scientific paper

The thermal convection instability of a two-component fluid layer subjected to a temperature gradient in the presence of an applied magnetic field is investigated. Solutions are obtained for the nonoscillatory marginal states, and it is shown that the concentration gradient has a stabilizing or destabilizing effect depending on whether the temperature gradient is negative or positive. Approximate oscillatory solutions are obtained by a variational method, and the dispersion relation is solved numerically.
