Abstract

The coupled inhomogeneous density and temperature oscillations in liquids and gases are described with the help of dynamical equations of motion for fluctuations. It is proved that stationary points are asymptotically stable when the preset temperature distribution is inhomogeneous. It is shown that the temperature setting in a gas is a result of the competition between viscosity and heat conduction mechanisms. The phase trajectories in the T-ρ plane are constructed in the inhomogeneous case by numerically solving the derived equations.
