摘要

Purpose - The aim of this paper is to investigate the onset of bio-thermal convection in a shallowrnfluid layer; the convection is thus driven by the combined effect of swimming of oxytacticrnmicroorganisms and inclined temperature gradient.rnDesign/methodology/approach - Linear stability analysis of the basic state is performed; thernnumerical problem is solved using the collocation method.rnFindings - The most interesting outcome of this analysis is the correlation between three Rayleighrnnumbers, two traditional, "thermal" Rayleigh numbers, which are associated with the vertical andrnhorizontal temperature gradients in the fluid layer, and the bioconvection Rayleigh number, which isrnassociated with the density variation induced by the upswimming of microorganisms.rnResearch limitations/implications - Further research should address the application of weaklyrnnonlinear analysis to this problem.rnPractical implications - The increase of the horizontal thermal Rayleigh number stabilizes thernbasic flow. The effect of increasing the horizontal thermal Rayleigh number is to distort the basicrntemperature profile away from the linear one. The increase of the Schmidt number stabilizes the basicrnflow. The increase of the Prandtl number first causes the bioconvection Rayleigh number to decreasernand then to increase.rnOriginality/value - To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first research dealing with therneffect of inclined temperature gradient on the stability of bioconvection.
