Comissiong and Tyrone D. Dass and Harold Ramkissoon and Alana R. Sankar}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The B'enard-Marangoni thermal instability problem for a viscoelastic Jeffreys- fluid layer with internal heat generation is investigated. The fluid layer is bounded above by a realistic free deformable surface and by a plane surface below. Our analysis shows that while the internal heat generation and the relaxation time both destabilize the fluid layer, its stability may be enhanced by an increased retardation time.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {5}, number = {8}, year = {2011}, pages = {1152 - 1159}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10451}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/56}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 56, 2011}, }
