The resulting eigenvalue is solved by the Galerkin technique for various basic temperature gradients. It is found that the presence of magnetic field always has a stability effect of increasing the critical Marangoni number. }, journal = {International Journal of Physical and Mathematical Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {2}, year = {2009}, pages = {143 - 145}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6244}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/26}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 26, 2009}, }
