Hello,

I am trying to recreate a classic problem.

I have air trapped in a box. The top and bottom walls are insulated. The left wall is at a fixed temperature of 100C and the right wall at 0C. Due to the heat difference, natural convection should occur in the air and start mixing.

I am trying to recreate this but I have some questions as to which model I should be using.

I am looking for both laminar and turbulent flow.

Should I be using conjugate heat transfer or non-isothermal flow? Should this be stationary or time-dependant?
