Real gas effects can profoundly influence the stability properties of dense material such as that residing in Jovian planetary interiors. The author presents a simplified stability analysis and multidimensional numerical simulation of an isothermal model of a Jovian planet that demonstrates convective instability caused by real gas effects at high densities in a system that is normally considered to be stable. This instability is driven by the significant increase of the specific heat with density that occurs for densities greater than about 0.1 g cm-3. The author also reaches some definite conclusions about the methods and procedures required to produce accurate numerical simulations of compressible convection.
