Abstract
The finite element discretization of the inviscid Boussinesq equations is studied with particular emphasis on the conservation properties of the discrete equations. Methods which conserve the total energy, total temperature and total temperature squared, or two of the above mentioned quantities, are presented. The effect of time discretization, and other numerical errors, on the conservation laws is considered. Finally, the theory is supported and illustrated by several numerical experiments.
