bouyancy effect

Hi
I found that with the multiphysics module using laminar flow and heat conduction in solids
on air in a closed cavity with temperature defined boundaries and gravity volume force I get
flow patterns. Does this simulate the bouyancy effect correctly?
From my experience, the heat transfer module (with conjugate heat transfer) is needed if you have a heat
source in the model plus a fluid flowing in
but in the above example the multiphysics model seems to be enough
thanks
