... and internal heat generation on the onset of Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a horizontal micropolar fluid layer is studied. The bounding surfaces of the liquids are considered to be rigid-free, rigid-rigid, and free-free with combination isothermal on the spin-vanishing boundaries. A linear stability analysis...

... coefficient associated with the hot fluid must be proportional to x −1/2 , and both the thermal expansion coefficient and the internal heat generation rate for the cold fluid must be proportional to x −1 , where x is the upward distance along the plate. The equations give local similarity solutions...
