This paper deals with the numerical solution of laminar natural convection in a trapezoidal enclosure by a control volume based finite element method and the vorticity-stream function formulation. Steady state solutions have been obtained for aspect ratios of 3 and 6 and for Rayleigh numbers ranging from 10{sup 3} to 2 {times} 10{sup 5}. Numerical results are presented for the flow patterns and for the average heat transfer characteristics.
