Abstract

The onset of stability in strongly compressible liquid with fixed volume is found by linear stability analysis. The results coincide with those at fixed pressure proving thereby that the piston effect does not influence the onset of convection. However, the dynamic phenomenon of internal gravity waves essentially depends on the piston effect.
