This paper shows the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior in time of regular solutions (a la Ladyzhenskaya) to the Bénard problem for a heat-conducting fluid model generalizing the classical Oberbeck–Boussinesq one. The novelty of this model, introduced by Corli and Passerini, 2019, and Passerini and Ruggeri, 2014, consists in allowing the density of the fluid to also depend on the pressure field, which, as shown by Passerini and Ruggeri, 2014, is a necessary request from a thermodynamic viewpoint when dealing with convective problems. This property adds to the problem a rather interesting mathematical challenge that is not encountered in the classical model, thus requiring a new approach for its resolution.

In this work, we develop a finite element-finite difference method to solve the differential equation governing the radial flow of slightly compressible fluids. The finite element method is used to carry out spatial approximations so as to study the variation of fluid properties at the various nodes to which effect we divided the entire radial domain of the fluid into a mesh of four radial 1-D quadratic elements which exposes nine nodes to intense study. Time approximation is done with the aid of the Crank-Nicolson finite difference scheme.
