Abstract:The problem of the onset of thermal convection is considered, firstly when a uniform tilted magnetic field is present, and secondly in a frame rotating about an oblique axis. If up–down symmetry is broken we expect to find only bifurcations that lead to travelling waves. Numerical studies show, however, that in a Boussinesq fluid the spectrum of eigenvalues can be symmetrical about the real axis, even when the boundary conditions are asymmetrical. Here we show analytically that this symmetry property indeed holds for a wide range of boundary conditions and hence that both steady solutions and standing waves are allowed.
Keywords:Magnetoconvection  Rotating convection  Bifurcation
