Abstract

We prove the material derivative existence for the solution of the stationary nonlinear heat equation arising in natural or mixed convection. We establish a derivability result for the same operator when the coefficients are assumed to be independent of the temperature (the linear case). In both cases we give a characterization of the material derivative.
