Extract

The relevance of the results for the total heat energy transported across a fluid layer by convective motions, obtained from the time integrations of the set of non-linear partial differential equations for hydromagnetic convection, has already been designated in a previous contribution (Lopez and Murphy 1982). Some differences in the form of the boundary conditions adopted for the magnetic field disturbance, H, have been noted in other publications where the interaction of convection and a magnetic field has also been considered. The solutions of the time-dependent equations, referenced above, illustrate that the magnetic boundary conditions have a determining role in the resultant convective state for some ranges of values in parameter space.
