Abstract
This work is devoted to a numerical approach of the laminar mixed conv ection in a cavity which one of the boundaries is materialized by a la minar vertical downstream air jet. The purpose is to analyze the inter action of this flow with the natural movement that grows in the cavity under the combined action of boundary thermal gradients and external medium of the cavity in order to examine thermal insulation qualities of the jet. Calculations have been made with the help of the finite vo lume method. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
