Temperature contours (on the left) and streamlines (on the right) with different Rayleigh number at Pr=0.7, 𝐴=0.2, 𝑛=2, ℎ𝑥=0.55, ℎ𝑦=0.55, (a) Ra=10⁴, (b) Ra=10⁵, and (c) Ra=5×10⁵.

(a) Maximum value of stream function Ψ_max=2.2616

(b) Maximum value of stream function Ψ_max=14.0910

(c) Maximum value of stream function Ψ_max=21.5610
