Abstract

The effect of varying magnetic field strength on the frequency of oscillatory motions for cellular multimode magnetoconvection has been investigated. In addition the influence of the thermal, viscous and magnetic diffusivities have been taken into account and the range of preferred horizontal scales established. The relationship between the period of oscillation and the magnetic field strength is determined.
