Abstract

We consider systems of reactive Boussinesq equations in two-dimensional strips that are not aligned with gravity's direction. We prove that for any width of such strips and for arbitrary Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers, the systems admit smooth, non-planar travelling wave solutions with the fluid's velocity satisfying no-slip boundary conditions.
