We consider a scaled Navier–Stokes–Fourier system describing the motion of a
compressible, heat-conducting, viscous fluid driven by inhomogeneous boundary
temperature distribution together with the gravitational force of a massive object
placed outside the fluid. We identify the limit system in the low Mach/low Froude
number regime for the ill-prepared initial data. The fluid is confined to a
bounded cavity with acoustically hard boundary enhancing reflection of acoustic
waves.
