This book describes the energy method, a powerful technique for deriving nonlinear stability estimates in thermal convection contexts. It includes a very readable introduction to the subject (Chapters 2-4), which begins at an elementary level and exp... Read More about The energy method, stability, and nonlinear convection..

An interesting convection situation is studied in a porous medium. We show that there is a range in which the convection may switch from the lower part of the layer to being predominantly in the upper part of the layer. Both linear instability and no...
