The effects of heated wall locations on mixed convection flow in a 2-D rectangular open cavity are investigated numerically using ANSYS-Fluent software. The flow is supposed to be a two-dimensional laminar and is regulated by parameters such as Reynolds, Re (100 and 200), and Richardson numbers, Ri...
