摘要：This paper presents the computational results of heat transfer for a 2D laminar flow with different channel tilts with forward facing step and backward facing step, taking into account buoyancy forces for various bottom wall lengths. The inclination angle influence on the distribution of velocity and temperature is investigated. The validated numerical algorithm was used to the problem forward and backward facing steps with buoyancy force and at various tilt angles. From the obtained numerical results, it can be noticed that the length of the lower part of the channel has a very strong effect on the flow fluctuation and temperature distribution over the entire channel. It should be noticed that the tilt angle also has a very strong effect on the distribution of flow and temperature. Thus, taking into account the buoyancy force changes the shape of the main recirculation region, but at the same time, regardless of the different tilt angles, the number of vortices does not change, but only the size of the vortices changes. It should also be noticed that when the buoyancy force is taken into account, cooling occurs more efficiently in the middle of the channel.
