Abstract
The gravitational instability of a horizontal fluid layer with a univariant phase transition is considered. It is found that the layer can be unstable even when the less dense phase lies above the dense phase and can be stable in the opposite case. Applications of the theory to convection with phase transitions in astrophysical and geophysical problems are briefly discussed.
