Abstract
Convection in a Hele-Shaw cell is studied analytically and numerically with allowance for heat exchange on the wide faces according to Newton's law. It is shown that this heat exchange has a considerable effect on the amplitude in the neighborhood of the threshold and explains laboratory experiments in which convection was observed even in the case of heating from above.
