Abstract
A splitting technique for solutions of the Navier—Stokes and the energy equations, in Boussinesq approximately, is presented. The equations are first integrated in time using a splitting procedure and then discretized spatially by means of a high-order spectral element method. The whole technique is validated on the flow in a differentially-heated cavity at intermediate and transitional Rayliegh numbers. The results are in a very good agreement with other available numerical solutions.
