Abstract

We show that shallow water waves in a viscous fluid are not damped if the fluid is adequately heated from below. The critical temperature gradient needed to sustain the wave as well as its frequency are determined analytically. The nonlinear evolution of the wave is governed by the Korteweg--de Vries equation.
