System (1)-(3) describes a dimensionless model for the stationary motion of a mechanically incompressible, but thermally expansible viscous fluid. It is widely used in industrial simulations of flows of hot melted glasses, polymers etc. We ll consider the system (10)-(12) in the realistic situation, when the parameter α = K ρ (T w 1) (the " expansivity or the thermal expansion coefficient ) is small.

Hence we have established rigorously the O(α 2 ) approximation for Problem A. Clearly, one could continue to any order. The result is given by the following theorem, which is a straightforward corollary of Proposition 25.
