In this work, this coupling relationship was numerically investigated with complete consideration of different cases of heating, and in the view of energy transport and conversion. By comparing with the no-gravity case(NGC), the results indicate that buoyancy has a significant effect on the bottom-heated case(BHC) and side-heated case(SHC), but has little influence on the top-heated case(THC) owing to the different magnitudes of secondary flow.
