Abstract
A free-convection mechanism of movement of the atmosphere flowing from a sterile chamber through a flat horizontal channel, when the ambient atmosphere is drawn in, has been described. Calculated depths of ambient atmosphere penetration into the channel and dependences of the Reynolds number of the chamber atmosphere on the Grashof number, obtained by solving self-similar boundary layer equations written in the Boussinesq approximation, are given.
