The onset of convection in the form of inertial waves in a rotating fluid sphere is studied through a perturbation analysis in an extension of earlier work by Zhang (1994). Explicit expressions for the dependence of the Rayleigh number on…

We consider the Boltzmann equation for a gas in a horizontal slab, subject to a gravitational force. The boundary conditions are of diffusive type, specifying the wall temperatures, so that the top temperature is lower than the bottom one…
This paper carries out a linear stability analysis of a plane Couette flow in a porous layer underlying a fluid layer where the porous layer is anisotropic and inhomogeneous. The plane Couette flow is induced due to the uniform movement of…
A necessary and sufficient condition for linear stability of inviscid parallel shear flow is formulated by a novel variational method, where the velocity profile is assumed to be monotonic and analytic. Unstable eigenvalues of the Rayleigh…
To provide insights into the challenging problem of turbulent convection, Jack Herring used a greatly truncated version of the complete Boussinesq equations containing only one horizontal wavenumber. In light of later observations of a…
We derive the dynamic boundary condition for the heat equation as a limit of boundary layer problems. We study convergence of their weak and strong solutions as the width of the layer tends to zero. We also discuss $\Gamma$-convergence of…

A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between these two imposed temperatures, an interface separating liquid and…
