A new class of solutions for two-dimensional free convection in a horizontal fluid layer heated from below are studied. It is found that these solutions are usually unstable unless the Prandtl number is small enough. The authors present an analytical theory (stability analysis included) and a numerical study of the solutions mentioned.
