Abstract

We present a general theory of the Brillouin lines in a fluid subject to a strong stationary heat flux. The combined effects of sound-absorbing walls and of large spatial inhomogeneities induced by the temperature gradient are computed for the first time. Nonequilibrium sound modes, constructed by WKB techniques, are used. No restrictions have to be made in the theory concerning the scattering geometry and the thermal equations of state.
