Symbolic computation and the Rayleigh-Bénard stability problem

This paper analyzes the linear stability of an horizontal layer of fluid consisting of a mixture of water and salt. The layer is hotter at the bottom and cooler at the top thus having a tendency to destabilize. To counteract this a salt concentration gradient (denser at the bottom and lighter at the...
