Taconis oscillation in a closed long tube with large thermal gradient is studied by numerical calculation of the 2D compressible Navier‐Stokes equations. The both ends of tube are hot ( T = T H ), and the center of side wall is cold ( T = T C ). We analyze the pressure amplitude p amp and the time averaged temperature T m in the closed tube. p amp is almost homogenous in the tube cross section, however, T m is not homogenous in the central cold region. We also observe two steady states at the same temperature ratio θ = T H / T C . It is important to analyze the effects of the boundary layer in this cold region on Taconis oscillations.
