Laminar natural convection in a two-dimensional enclosure with both source (uniform heat flux density) and sink (temperature specified) located on the top horizontal boundary is investigated numerically. Temperature and velocity profiles are presented for a high Prandtl number fluid for length Rayleigh numbers in the range 107 to 109 for length to depth ratios of 1:1 to 4:1. To generalize the results, an order of magnitude analysis is used to determine the dependence of temperature, velocity, and boundary-layer thickness scales on aspect ratio and Rayleigh number. The numerical data are well correlated using these suggested scales. The analysis shows the Nusselt number and the maximum horizontal velocity to depend on the 1/6 and 1/3 powers of the Rayleigh number, independent of aspect ratio.
