Abstract
AbstractThe thermal convection in a layer of a third grade fluid is investigated, with viscosity being a general function of temperature. We develop a non‐linear stability analysis and prove that unconditional non‐linear stability criterion is achieved using a natural energy approach. This shows that, in some sense, the equations for a fluid of third grade are preferable to those for a fluid of second grade or a dipolar fluid. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
