Large self-similar solutions to Oberbeck-Boussinesq system with Newtonian gravitational field

The Navier-Stokes system for an incompressible fluid coupled with the equation for a heat transfer is considered in the whole three dimensional space. This system is invariant under a suitable scaling. Using the Leray-Schauder theorem and compactness arguments, we construct self-similar solutions to this system without any smallness assumptions imposed on homogeneous initial conditions.
