Abstract
This paper is concerned with flow visualization. velocity, streakline, and heat transfer measurements on thermal convection between two coaxial square containers inclined by 45 degrees. It is found that there is no critical R ayleigh number (Ra), for the onset of thermal convection in the test sectio n. There appear two great circulations, which are symmetrical with respect to the diagonal vertical plane of the two coaxial square containers, and en hance the heat transfer significantly.
