Numerical solutions are presented for steady laminar two-dimensional natural convection in annuli between concentric and vertically eccentric horizontal circular cylinders with specified (constant) heat flux at the boundaries. The results encompass streamline and isotherm contours, temperature distributions on both cylinder boundaries, and average Nusselt numbers as functions of the modified Rayleigh number.
