Abstract
Approximate equations of motion, continuity and mass transport are given for a viscous liquid of variable density moving very slowly between vertical and impermeable parallel planes. These equations are used to calculate approximate stability criteria when the liquid is at rest under a vertical density gradient. The results are applicable to the problem of the stability of a viscous liquid of variable density to two-dimensional disturbances in a porous medium.
