The RB convection models are distinguished by the three different temperature boundary conditions like: 1) RB1: lower and upper at fixed-temperature, 2) RB2: lower and upper with fixed-heat flux, or perfectly insulating and 3) RB3: bottom surface is fixed-temperature and top surface is fixed-heat flux. A Galerkin-type is based on the weighted residual method (WRM) which has been used to obtain the eigenvalue for gravity thermal Rayleigh number.
