free convection, boundary layer approximation

I'm looking for a simple approximation for the average flow velocity along a vertical plane with salt dissolution. At the vertical plane there are large density differences caused by salt dissolution. These density differences cause heavy volume forces in z-direction, what is the driving force for flow.
The solution doesn't converge (time dependent solver) and I think I have to set up a wall velocity, what is the result of the balance between viscosity force and buoyancy force.
Has anyone a good idea or an example?
Thank you very much,
best regards, Michael
