Abstract
Mixed convection in a cavity formed by a rectangular parallelepiped of spanwise aspect ratio three has been studied by solving the Navier-Stokes .and the energy equations under the Boussinesq approximation. Buoyancy forces are due to the heating of the bottom wall and13; forcing due to the motion of the top lid. When there is no lid motion represented by Reynolds number Re = 0 there is no fluid motion if the Rayleigh number Ra is below a critical value of 2559fl. The motion of the lid sets the fluid into motion. The complex flow pattern is identified13; in terms of stagnation points, primary vortices and secondary vortices. The interaction between the two forces leads to a variety of flow and heat flux patterns which may be steady, periodic, periodic or turbulent. Dependence of these states on Re and Ra is quite complex as indicated by a parametric study.
