The steady-state advective flow in a long horizontal rectangular channel with rigid adiabatic boundaries in the presence of a uniform longitudinal pressure gradient is investigated. The stability of this flow with respect to perturbations of various types is studied. The dependence of the critical Rayleigh number on the Prandtl number is found for various aspect ratios.
