IntroductionNatural convection in a rectangular cavity can apply to wide range of engineering applications.The isoflux walls are more appropriate than the isothermal walls for real applications. However, the cavity with isoflux walls has received much less attention than with isothermal walls.

Temperature and Velocity Profiles(Ra=1x103,Pr=0.7)
Comparison temperature (a) and velocity (b) profiles at y=A/2 near the heated wall between analytical result and numerical results for Ra=1x103, Pr=0.7, with various A.
These analytical solutions are valid only for relatively high aspect ratio cavities.Can we apply these solutions to a low aspect ratio cavity? If yes, what is the appropriate Ra?

Concluding remarks The analytical solutions are valid with the high aspect ratio cavities (present study, A>5) over the entire range of Rayleigh number .
These solutions also apply to the small aspect ratio cavities with high Rayleigh number, e.g. a square cavity with Ra=1x107, which have a constant boundary layer thickness and parallel to the side walls.
The flow in a square cavity with high Ra can be considered as a one-dimensional flow.
