| Abstract: | Two problems of convective stability in a medium containing settling heavy solid particles are discussed. A study is made of the stability of steady convective flow of a medium containing an additive between vertical plates heated to different temperatures and also of the stability of a flat layer of a medium containing an additive which is heated from below. It is shown that the presence of settling solid particles has a significant stabilizing effect on convective stability.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 105–115, May–June, 1976.The author thanks E.
