Isn't there an option for a 'temperature' only solver that only solves 
the Stokes equations once? (But regardless, if the temperature does not 
affect the buoyancy, then the previous Stokes solution equals the 
current Stokes solution and the Stokes solver should terminate after the 
very first iteration.)
