- Description
- The analysis is carried out for laminar natural convection in a prismatic enclosure, being its cross-section an isosceles triangle. Many cases of thermal boundary conditions were considered. We present here only two of them. The finite differences method for solving the stationary Navier-Stokes and energy conservation equations is described. The physical variables used are vorticity, stream-function and temperature. Results for isotherms and field lines are presented for Grashof number $Gr=10^6$ and aspect ratio A=1. The present results are in good agreement with data of other authors.
