On the non-existence of subcritical instabilities in fluid layers heated from below

  • R. Sani (a1) (a2)
Abstract

Using some recent results it is established that, for very general boundary conditions, time-independent subcritical instabilities do not exist for the non-linear thermoconvective stability problem.
