ABSTRACT
Controlled double-diffusive Marangoni convection in a rotating nanofluid layer, heated from below, is studied. Various types of lower-upper boundary conditions, including free-free and rigid-free, are considered. The nanofluids model incorporates the mechanisms of Brownian motion and thermophoresis in nanofluids. The stability of the nanofluids model is analysed using a linear stability analysis based on the normal mode technique. The eigenvalue problem is numerically solved using the Galerkin technique and computational simulations are carried out using Maple software. The influences of several parameters are examined and presented graphically, including modified diffusivity ratio, nanoparticles concentration, solutal Rayleigh number and Soret effects. These effects are found to contribute to the advancement of Marangoni convection, a phenomenon that occurs due to variations in surface tension along the interface of a nanofluid layer. Conversely, the presence of the Coriolis force (due to the rotation), controller gain, and Dufour effects are observed to slow down the process of Marangoni convection.
