review text: Natural convective air flow in an enclosure with a horizontal lower wall, vertical side-walls and a straight inclined top wall has been numerically studied. The lower wall is at a uniform high temperature while the top wall is cooled to a uniform lower temperature. The temperature of the side-walls varies in a prescribed way between the temperatures of the bottom and top walls. It has been assumed that the flow is steady, laminar, and two-dimensional and that the fluid properties are constant except for the density change with temperature that gives rise to the buoyancy forces. The governing equations have been expressed in terms of stream function and vorticity and written in dimensionless form. The finite element method has been used to obtain the solution to these dimensionless equations.
