Scientific paper

The problem of thermal convection instability of a horizontal layer of magnetized fluid has been studied with reference to crystal growth under the effect of horizontal temperature gradient. In the study, the problem has been reduced to an eigen-value problem for a stream function. The dispersion relations for low viscosity fluid and high viscosity fluid respectively have been discussed analytically and some numerical results have been obtained. It is shown that the critical Rayleigh number and its related constants for low viscosity fluid (i.e., mercury) are much different than the high viscosity fluid (i.e., glycerol).
