Heat-gravitational motion of an air flow in a vertical channel with one-sided heating in an area with low Reynolds number is stated in Boussinesq approximation. Hydraulic variables field in a heat-gravitational motion is modeled with the application of ANSYS-FLUENT. It is converted to average velocity and temperature values in a cross section of the channel. The value of an average velocity is determined by rate of heat supply in a barotropic flow with a polytropic coefficient n<k. An average velocity versus flow resistance characteristic is ascertained. Largest extremum of channel flow coefficient is less than 0,707. Physical modelling of the flow is performed on a variable geometry unit. Calculation and experimental data established that an average velocity reaches a maximum in a ventilated vertical channel with free air access and in the absence of gaps. In a channel with closed air access inleakage of the cold air through gaps on an unheated side leads to decrease in an average speed at least twice in comparison to channel with free air access.
