Abstract
In the case of fluid with a power-law temperature dependence of the density in the boundary layer an exact solution of the equations of motion is found for a heated laminar vertical jet (convective plume). The case of a linear heat source is considered. The exact solution is compared with the results of numerical solution of the problem.
