In this study, a Uzawa-type iterative algorithm is introduced and analyzed for solving the stationary natural convection model, where physical variables are discretized by utilizing a mixed finite element method. Compared with the common Uzawa iterative algorithm, the main finding is that the proposed algorithm produces weakly divergence-free velocity approximation. In addition, the convergence results of the proposed algorithm are provided, and numerical tests supporting the theory are presented.
