Z. Naturforsch.64a,448 – 454 (2009); received October 2, 2008 / revised November 20, 2008 The thermosolutal instabilityof couple-stress fluid in the presence of uniform vertical rotation is considered. Following the linearized stabilitytheoryand normal mode analysis, the dispersion is obtained. For the case of stationaryconvection, the stable solute gradient and rotation have stabilizing effects on the system, whereas the couple-stress has both stabilizing and destabilizing effects. The dispersion relation is also analyzed numerically. The stable solute gradient and the rotation introduce oscillatorymodes in the system, which did not occur in their absence. The sufficient conditions for the non-existence of overstabilityare also obtained.

Key words:Thermosolutal Convection; Couple-Stress Fluid; Uniform Vertical Rotation.
