Abstract

The one-dimensional non-linear equations for a viscous fluid with finite thermal conductivity are solved to get an exact solution for a steady vertical flow. The stability of such a steady flow is examined to find that the viscosity has a very pronounced stabilizing influence on convective and acoustic modes.
