Abstract: Abstract Rayleigh–Bénard buoyancy-driven convection of a layer of viscous Boussinesq fluid confined between two stress-free surfaces and heated from below is investigated in this chapter. The critical conditions for onset of a convective instability are obtained by a linear stability analysis of the pure conduction solution to the governing system of Boussinesq equations.
