The time evolution of a two dimensional incompressible, density stratified, Boussinesq flow in a rectangular cavity is numerically simulated for a range of parameters. Boundary control is then implemented along the upper boundary by adjusting the fluid density. More specifically, the top boundary condition of the cavity is a fixed function of space that is modulated by the control input. The resulting numerical simulation for the fluid density and velocity is computed using finite differences
