Popis: A numerical investigation has been made into the equilibrium stability with respect to finite perturbations of a mixture with heat sources proportional to the concentration of an active component. The convective motions that develop after the loss of stability were also studied. The equations of thermoconcentration convection were solved by the grid method for a planar region of rectangular shape simulating a convective cell in the horizontal layer. Neutral curves for finite-amplitude perturbations are constructed, the regions of existence of subcritical motions are found, and a comparison with the results of linear theory is made.
