Heat Convection of Compressible Viscous Fluids. I.

The stationary problem for the heat convection of compressible fluid is considered around the equilibrium solution with the external forces in the horizontal strip domain z_0 < z < z_0 + 1 and it is proved that the solution exists uniformly with respect to z_0 larger than Z_0 . The limit system as z_0 goes to infinity is the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equation
