So for geometry I have the Mount St. Helens and the idea was to simulate wind flow around it. That was relatively easy, using laminar flow (spf).

The next step is to "turn off" the inflow and induce the flow by heating the soil, or to see the convective flow only. That is not so easy any more, I don't even know what physics should I use - heat transfer in fluids? Conjugate heat transfer? Non-isothermal flow?

I searched the model gallery and there are loosely similar problems solved, but I'm not sure what kind of model corresponds most closely to the problem described. Any help?
