Detailed Description

Steady-state solver for buoyant, turbulent flow of incompressible fluids.

Uses the Boussinesq approximation:

\[ rho_{eff} = 1 - beta(T - T_{ref}) \]

where: $ rho_{eff} $ = the effective (driving) density beta = thermal expansion coefficient [1/K] T = temperature [K] $ T_{ref} $ = reference temperature [K]

Valid when:

\[ rho_{eff} << 1 \]
