ABSTRACT = {This article presents a numerical study on natural convection in a bidimensional inclined "T"-shaped cavity. The governing equations are solved in the framework of a control-volume method resorting to the SIMPLEC algorithm (for the treatment of pressure-velocity coupling). Special emphasis is given to the investigation of the effect of inclination on the heat transfer and mass flow rate. Results are discussed for Prandtl number <i>Pr</i>=0.72, geometry with: opening width <i>C</i>=0.15, blocks gap <i>D</i>=0.5, blocks height, <i>B</i>=0.5 and different values of the Rayleigh number (10<sup>4</sup> ≤ Ra ≤ 10<sup>6</sup>).},
