Numerical simulations of natural convection performed with the usual Boussinesq equations result in unbalanced irreversibility budget. The thermodynamic Boussinesq equations solve this problem, especially because they simulate production of kinetic energy within the fluid through its expansion and contraction. These fluid volume changes, without which natural convection would not occur, also induce...
