Abstract
This study represents the numerical solutions of the buoyancy driven t urbulent flows in an inclined two-dimensional rectangular enclosure in which one of the inclined walls is heated and the other is cooled. Th e low Reynolds number k-epsilon model is used to model the turbulent f low. The effect of various parameters such as the angle of inclination , the Rayleigh number and the number of partitions on the flow field a nd the average Nusselt number have been investigated and presented.
