The temperature gradient does not cause the mass error. It would be shear of the flow rising from the body. If you stop the flow you should stop the mass error.

You do not set up boundary layers...

How well controlled it is has nothing to do with laminar or turbulent. It is quite possible the convective plume coming off the body trips to turbulent flow. Have you calculated the Rayliegh number...

Can you post an image?

What do you mean by the "convective force"? The convection on the body is going to result in a microscopic force on the bodies weight. This would only be of interest to...

As I said, the easiest way is to insert a thin layer of mesh and define it as a solid body, with a thermal conductivity chosen to give the right resistance for the thickness.

Not easily, best option is to model in a thin layer and give it a thermal conductivity designed to give the right thermal resistance. It is quite easy in V12 and does not require additional mesh so a...

Precisely. So don't do it, it is wrong.

If there is a thermal resistance then put it in as a thermal resistance on the surface. CFX V12 supports thermal resistances on interfaces.

If you are referring to ANSYS Mechanical then this sounds like a bad idea. CFX can run thermal stuff just fine, so forget about ANSYS Mech - especially on this forum, we are CFX fans here!
