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 Pr=0.72, geometry with: opening width C=0.15, blocks gap D=0.5, blocks height, B=0.5 and different values of the Rayleigh number (104 ≤ Ra ≤ 106). More >
