Thermosolutal instability of compressible Rivlin-Ericksen fluid with Hall currents

The thermosolutal instability of a compressible Rivlin-Ericksen viscoelastic fluid is predicted for a layer heated and soluted from below in the presence of the vertical magnetic field to include the effect of Hall currents. For the case of stationary convection, the Rivlin-Ericksen elastico-viscous fluid behaves like a Newtonian viscous fluid. The Hall currents found to hasten the onset of thermosolutal instability whereas the compressibility, stable solute gradient and magnetic field postpone the onset of thermosolutal instability. Also, the dispersion relation is analyzed numerically and results are depicted graphically. The stable solute gradient and magnetic field (and corresponding Hall currents) introduce oscillatory modes in the system, which were nonexistent in their absence. The sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstability are also obtained.
