Weak nonlinear analysis of nanofluid convection with g-jitter using the Ginzburg--Landau model

Abstract

Nanofluid has emerged as a remarkable heat and mass transfer fluid due to its thermal characteristics. Despite this, continuing research is required to address problems in real applications and offer a solution for controlling transfer analysis. Therefore, in this study, the authors intend to model (Ginzburg–Landau equation) and analyze the two-dimensional nanofluid convection with gravity modulation. The perturbed analysis is adapted to convert the leading equations into Ginzburg–Landau equation. Lower amplitude (δ\delta values from 0 to 0.5) values are taken since they influence transfer analysis. The values of Pr are considered as 0 to 2 to retain the local acceleration term in the system of equations. A lower amount of frequency of modulation (Ω\Omega values from 0 to 70) is sufficient to enhance the heat and mass transfer rates. It is found that g-jitter and concentration Rayleigh numbers control the stability of the system. The Prandtl number and the amplitude of modulation enhance nano-heat and nano-mass transfer. This shows a destabilizing effect of modulation on nano-convection. Also the nano-Rayleigh number Rn has a dual nature on the kinetic energy transfer for positive and negative signs. A comparison is made between modulated and unmodulated systems, and it is found that the modulated systems influences the stability problem than the unmodulated systems. Finally, it is found that g-jitter influences effectively to regulate the transport process in the layer.
