| Abstract: | Ferrofluids find immense applications in various fields of science, engineering, medicine and agriculture. The study of convection in ferro-fluids is quite interesting especially when magnetic particles can be treated as suspension of particles represented as porous medium in presence of carrier fluids. These suspended particles need not constitute uniform distribution, there can be some amount of anisotropy in the distribution. In this paper ferroconvective instability in an anisotropic densely packed magnetic particle, treated as porous medium, is studied. The anisotropy is assumed to be along the vertical direction. It is found that the presence of porous medium inhibits the convection and anisotropy favours the convection. |
