Recent developments in the theory of instability by magnetic buoyancy are discussed in an
astrophysical context and, where appropriate, extended to provide a more unified picture …

The last thirty years have seen great leaps forward in the subject of magnetoconvection.
Computational techniques can now explain exotic nonlinear behaviour, transition to chaos …

Results are presented of a simulation of turbulent three-dimensional magnetic convection
under the influence of rotation in a fluid layer whose depth is about 1 pressure-scale hight …

A linear analysis is used to study the stability of a rapidly rotating, electrically-conducting,
self-gravitating fluid sphere of radius r 0, containing a uniform distribution of heat sources …

The onset of periodic time-varying magnetoconvection in a regime relevant to the Earth's
outer core is investigated in this study. A rapidly rotating plane fluid layer subject to an …

The onset of convection in a low-Prandtl-number fluid confined in a uniformly rotating
vertical cylinder heated from below is studied. The linear stability problem is solved for …

Convective instabilities of a self-gravitating, rapidly rotating fluid spherical shell are
investigated in the presence of an imposed azimuthal axisymmetric magnetic field in the …

Various models of thermal convection in rapidly rotating fluids permeated by strong
magnetic fields are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the possibility that the magnetic …
