<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title>
<jats:p>This study proves the existence of a weak solution for arbitrarily large given data (i.e. the inflow velocity and the acting specific body force).</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Practical implications</jats:title>
<jats:p>The author proposed a special boundary condition on the outflow of the domain not only for the velocity and pressure but also for the temperature.</jats:p>
