Extract

It is well known from linear theory that a magnetic field or rotation, acting separately, have an inhibiting effect on the onset of thermal convection. This has been confirmed by corresponding studies of finite amplitude convection. On the other hand, when both magnetic field and rotation act together, the linear theory predicts that they may have conflicting tendencies. It is the purpose of the present paper to report on the investigation of these effects in the case of non-linear thermal convection.
