Abstrakt:	The natural convection of fresh water in a square cell is considered at a temperature close to the density inversion temperature for Grashof numbers 2.9 · 104 ≤ Gr ≤ 106. As a result of the numerical investigation, one steady-state and three self-oscillating regimes are found in addition to the three steady-state flows previously detected earlier and described for low Grashof numbers ( 0 ≤ Gr ≤ 2 · 105). The basic characteristics of the unsteady flows are analyzed by means of the Fourier method, the fundamental oscillation frequencies are found, and the flow evolution and the variation of the oscillation characteristics with increase in the Gr number are considered.
