Abstract
Steady, laminar, mixed convection flow was considered in an inclined lid-driven rectangular enclosure heated from one side moving with a constant speed and cooled from the stationary adjacent side while the other sides are kept stationary and adiabatic. The governing equations were solved numerically for the stream function, vorticity, and temperature ratio using the differential quadrature method for various Reynolds, Grashof, and Richardson numbers as well as different aspect ratios and inclination angles for the enclosure. The results show that the motion of the side wall, the aspect ratio, and the inclination angle of the enclosure had significant effects on the flow and temperature fields.
