Abstract
Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a Newtonian viscous fluid overlying Walters’s B viscoelastic fluid through porous medium is considered. For the stable configuration the system is found to be stable or unstable. However, the system is found to be unstable for the unstable configuration. The effects of a uniform horizontal magnetic field and a uniform rotation are also considered. For the stable configuration, in the hydro magnetic case also, the system is found to be stable or unstable. However, for the unstable configuration, the magnetic field and viscoelasticity have got stabilizing effects. The system is found to be unstable for the potentially unstable case, for highly viscous fluids, in the presence of a uniform rotation.
