Abstract
Introduction Basic Equations Thermal Instabilities of a Homogeneous Compressible Fluid Pressure-modes and entropy-mode Stability of the compressible homogeneous fluid when heat exchange - is taken into account Dynamics of a Stratified Compressible Atmosphere The local dispersion relation The condition for dynamic instability The stable case. Pressure and gravity modes The unstable case. Pressure modes and convective modes The "parcel method". Phenomenological discussion of dynamical - stability Thermal, Pulsational and Convective Instabilities, and the "Parcel - Approximation" of the Equations of Hydrodynamics The "parcel" model and the equations of hydrogynamics Convection and thermal instability Convection and dynamical instability A general phenomenological discussion of the relation between - convection and pulsational instability Mixing - Length Theory Convection and the structure of a star The mixing-length formalism A discussion of the mixing-length theory A Study of the Non-Radial Motions of a Self-Gravitating Gas Sphere - within Cowling's Approximation Initial values problem and boundary conditions Sufficient condition for stability The growth rates of unstable modes The oscillation properties of the unstable modes
