Effect of heat-flux boundary conditions on the Rayleigh-Bénard instability in a rarefied gas

We consider the effect of heat-flux boundary conditions, replacing the previously studied isothermal wall conditions, on the Rayleigh-Bénard instability in a rarefied gas. The problem is investigated in the limit of small Knudsen numbers, by means of a linear stability analysis of a slip flow model,...
