Abstract: The stability of the equilibrium of a compressible gas placed in a limited region in a gravity field is investigated. The same temperature is maintained on all boundaries of the region. The stability of the static equilibrium of a compressible gas is analyzed in a linear approximation. The obtained data are supplemented by the results of solving a system of complete nonlinear equations describing the flows of a compressible gas. The characteristics of the obtained nonstationary solution are discussed.

Keywords: Gas, turbulence, compressibility, linear analysis, gravitational force, numerical simulation
