The Boussinesq system for buoyancy driven fluids couples the momentum equation forced by the buoyancy with the convection-diffusion equation for the temperature. One fundamental issue on the Boussinesq system is the stability problem on…
We theoretically prove the existence in granular fluids of a thermal convection that is inherent, in the sense that is always present and has no thermal gradient threshold (convection occurs for all finite values of the Rayleigh number).…
