In the present investigation, the coupled phenomenon of opposing mixed convection and radiation within differentially-heated eccentric horizontal cylindrical annulus has been numerically simulated. The radiation transfer contributed from the participating medium is obtained by solving the non-linear integro-differential radiative transfer equation using the discrete ordinate method. The participating grey medium is considered to be emitting, absorbing, and isotropically scattering. The walls of the annulus are considered to be opaque, diffuse, and grey. From the present investigation, it is found that substantial changes occur in the isotherms as well as the flow patterns, when the Richardson number is allowed to vary in the range of 0.01–1. The eccentricity of the inner cylinder has been varied adequately to illustrate the effect of same in a focused manner. The influence of radiative parameters on the interaction phenomenon has been delineated through the isotherm and streamline patterns.
