Abstract
The thermal gravitational convection of liquids under conditions of microgravity is studied in a 2D long rectangular domain elongated in the direction of the gravity force. The liquid is located between two solid regions of equal thickness. The solid parts are heat conducting. The mathematical modelling of the coupled problem is presented. Two mathematical models of convection are used to describe a motion of liquid: the classical Oberbeck-Boussinesq model and the microconvection model of isothermally incompressible liquid. The numerical experiments of convection are performed and demonstrate the qualitative and quantitative differences in the flow characteristics.
