Default Boussinesq model gives constant density

Hello,

I'm using the Boussinesq model for density for a natural convection problem with water. I've set the operating temperature and thermal expansion coefficient for water.

The temperature difference is a maximum of 25K but still the density contours are constant throughout the entire domain. However I do get a velocity field and the only driving force I have is buoyancy so there must be some density difference. Why can't I see it in reports or contours?

Regards Ola
