Abstract
The interaction of variable property convection and surface radiation in a differentially heated square cavity is considered. Effect of surf ace radiation on natural convection has been studied from the point of view of flow structure and isotherm patterns. Wherever possible, a co mparative study has been invoked between the outcome of the present wo rk and the constant property formulation. The finite element method ha s been used in the present work and associated formulation schemes hav e been described in detail.
