Abstract

In this paper we apply some variants of the classical energy method to study the nonlinear Lyapunov stability of the thermodiffusive equilibrium for a viscous thermoelectroconducting fully ionized fluid in a horizontal layer heated from below. The classical L2 norm, too weak to highlight some stabilizing or unstabilizing effects, can be used to dominate the nonlinear terms. A more fine Lyapunov function is obtained by reformulating the initial perturbation evolution problem, in terms of some independent scalar fields. In such a way, if the principle of exchange of stabilities holds, we obtain the coincidence of linear and nonlinear stability bounds.
