June 21, 2011, 19:19	Reversed flow Natural Convection	#1
ryzd New Member Ryan Z. Davis Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States Posts: 11 Rep Power: 16	Hi all, I am doing the classical 2-D differentially heated cavity to produce natural convection. I am not using the bousinesque approximation, but I am defining density as a function of temperature. When I use air as the working fluid the flow goes backward. Fluid near the hot wall travels downward and fluid near the cool wall travels upward. I can't seem to figure out why. Can anyone help me with this?
