We consider the Virtual Element discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the heat equation where the viscosity depends on the temperature. We introduce the Virtual Element discretization of the coupled problem, show its well-posedness, and prove optimal error estimates. Finally, numerical experiments confirming the theoretical error bounds are also presented.
