In the following two-dimensional momentum equation for natural convection over a surface immersed in a quiescent fluid at temperature T_∞ (g is the gravitational acceleration, β is the volumetric thermal expansion coefficient, ν is the kinematic viscosity, u and v are the velocities in x and y directions, respectively, and T is the temperature)

\(\rm u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = g β (T - T_∞) + \nu \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} \)

the term gβ(T - T_∞) represent
