A revised model for the effect of nanoparticle mass flux on the thermal instability of a nanofluid layer

A revised model of the nanoparticle mass flux is introduced and used to study the thermal instability of the Rayleigh-Benard problem for a horizontal layer of nanofluid heated from below. The motion of nanoparticles is characterized by the effects of thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion. The nanofl...
